Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify PHPGurukul Student Record System versionLocate and inspect the version file or header in the application installation directory. Common locations include a version.php file, README, or the index page source.Affected if The installed version is exactly 3.20 or falls within the affected range.
-
Confirm admin-profile.php existsCheck for the presence of the file /admin-profile.php in the web application's admin or root directory.Affected if The file exists and is accessible via the web server.
-
Inspect SQL query handling for adminname parameterOpen admin-profile.php and locate the code handling the adminname parameter. Check if it is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using prepared statements or parameter binding.Affected if The adminname parameter is used in dynamic SQL queries without parameterization.
-
Inspect SQL query handling for aemailid parameterOpen admin-profile.php and locate the code handling the aemailid parameter. Check if it is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using prepared statements or parameter binding.Affected if The aemailid parameter is used in dynamic SQL queries without parameterization.
-
Identify if admin functionality is accessibleDetermine whether the application has an active admin user session or if the admin profile page is accessible without authentication restrictions.Affected if The admin-profile.php page is reachable and the vulnerable parameters can be submitted via HTTP requests.
The environment is affected if running PHPGurukul Student Record System version 3.20 and the admin-profile.php file contains dynamic SQL queries using the adminname or aemailid parameters without prepared statements.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the adminname and aemailid parameters in admin-profile.php, or apply vendor-supplied security patch if available.
