Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was identified in kidaze CourseSelectionSystem up to 42cd892b40a18d50bd4ed1905fa89f939173a464. Affected is an unknown function of the file /Profilers/PProfile/COUNT3s3.php. The manipulation of the argument csem leads to sql injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product follows a rolling release approach for continuous delivery, so version details for affected or updated releases are not provided.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in kidaze CourseSelectionSystem's /Profilers/PProfile/COUNT3s3.php allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the 'csem' parameter. The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication and has a publicly available exploit, making it easily weaponizable.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions involving the 'csem' parameter and audit similar code patterns throughout the application for additional SQL injection vulnerabilities.

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 if Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem is installed
    Search the web root directory for files named 'COUNT3s3.php' or look for application files containing 'kidaze' or 'courseselection' in the file names or metadata
    Affected if The application directory contains COUNT3s3.php or other kidaze CourseSelectionSystem files
  2. Determine the installation version or date
    Check the COUNT3s3.php file for version comments, check file modification timestamps, or look for a version file in the application root. Compare against the affected date 2017-06-18
    Affected if The installation date is on or before 2017-06-18, or the version is unknown/undetermined
  3. Verify the COUNT3s3.php file exists and is accessible
    Locate COUNT3s3.php in the web-accessible directory structure and confirm it is readable by the web server
    Affected if COUNT3s3.php exists in a web-accessible path
  4. Check if the application is exposed to the network
    Confirm the web application is reachable externally or internally via HTTP/HTTPS on the expected hostname or IP
    Affected if The application is accessible over the network

A user is affected if they have Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem installed with COUNT3s3.php present and the installation date is on or before 2017-06-18
