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 the application is installedLocate SourceCodester Responsive E-Learning System in your web server document root (commonly /var/www/html, /htdocs, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot). Identify the installation directory and verify the presence of the main application files such as index.php, admin/, and add_teacher.php.Affected if The application directory containing add_teacher.php exists on the server.
-
Verify the affected file existsCheck for the presence of /admin/add_teacher.php within the application directory. This is the specific file containing the vulnerable Username parameter.Affected if The file /admin/add_teacher.php exists in the web application.
-
Confirm the application versionInspect the application source code, readme files, or any version metadata to confirm the installed version is exactly 1.0. Check common version files like version.php, readme.txt, or the main index.php header comments.Affected if The installed version is SourceCodester Responsive E-Learning System 1.0.
-
Check if admin endpoint is exposedVerify the /admin/add_teacher.php endpoint is accessible from the network. Attempt to access the URL directly (e.g., http(s)://yourdomain.com/admin/add_teacher.php) using a web browser or curl command.Affected if The /admin/add_teacher.php page loads and accepts input without authentication.
If the SourceCodester Responsive E-Learning System version 1.0 is installed and the /admin/add_teacher.php endpoint is accessible, the environment is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection via the Username parameter.

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 for all user inputs in add_teacher.php, particularly the Username field, and implement proper input validation and output encoding.
