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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify PHPGurukul Online Course Registration installation
    Locate the web application's root directory. Common paths may include /var/www/html/, /www/, or C:\xampp\htdocs\ if using XAMPP. Look for files such as index.php or directories containing 'course' or 'registration' in the name.
    Affected if The application PHPGurukul Online Course Registration is installed on the server.
  2. Verify the application version is 3.1
    Check for a version file, readme.txt, or version constant within the application source code. Look in files like version.php, about.php, or the root index.php for a version identifier.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 3.1.
  3. Confirm the vulnerable file exists
    Navigate to the admin directory and verify semester.php exists: ls -la /path/to/application/admin/semester.php or locate semester.php within the application structure.
    Affected if The file /admin/semester.php exists in the installation.
  4. Inspect semester.php for unsafe SQL query handling
    Open semester.php in a text editor and search for SQL queries containing the 'semester' parameter. Look for patterns like $_POST['semester'] or $_GET['semester'] used directly in WHERE clauses without escaping, prepared statements, or parameter binding.
    Affected if The semester parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization functions.
  5. Check if the admin interface is accessible
    Attempt to access the semester management page via HTTP: visit http://yourdomain/admin/semester.php or the equivalent path on your server. Verify if the page loads and accepts input.
    Affected if The admin/semester.php page is accessible and accepts user input for the semester parameter.

A user is affected if PHPGurukul Online Course Registration version 3.1 is installed, the file /admin/semester.php exists, and the semester parameter in that file is handled in SQL queries without parameterized queries or sanitization.
