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.
-
Confirm PHPGurukul Zoo Management System is installedLocate the web application files in the web server document root. Look for the zoo management system installation directory containing typical PHP files.Affected if The zoo management system is present on the server.
-
Identify the installed versionCheck for a version file, README, or header comments in main PHP files. Common locations include version.php, about.php, or the index file in the installation root.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.1.
-
Verify the vulnerable script existsCheck for the presence of /admin/foreigner-bwdates-reports-details.php in the web application directory structure.Affected if The file foreigner-bwdates-reports-details.php exists in the admin directory.
-
Confirm admin interface accessibilityVerify the /admin/ directory is accessible without authentication. Check web server configuration for any access restrictions on the admin path.Affected if The admin panel endpoint is reachable without authentication.
If the system has Zoo Management System version 2.1 installed with the foreigner-bwdates-reports-details.php file present and the admin interface accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 prepared statements/parameterized queries, implement strict input validation on the fromdate parameter, and apply principle of least privilege to database user accounts.
