CVE-2025-10797
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was determined in code-projects Hostel Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /justines/index.php. This manipulation of the argument log_email causes sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the login functionality of Hostel Management System 1.0. The log_email parameter in /justines/index.php is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or potential remote code execution depending on database configuration.

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.
-
Locate the Hostel Management System installationSearch for directories containing 'hostel' or 'justines' and the file 'index.php' - typically under web server document root (e.g., /var/www/html/, /www/, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\)Affected if The application files are found on the system
-
Verify the installed version is 1.0Check for version indicators in source code comments, README files, or any version configuration file within the application directory. Compare against the affected version range (= 1.0)Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
-
Confirm the vulnerable file existsCheck for the presence of /justines/index.php within the application directoryAffected if The file /justines/index.php exists in the installation
-
Identify if log_email parameter is presentOpen /justines/index.php and search for the 'log_email' parameter in the login form codeAffected if The log_email parameter is present in the login functionality code
-
Assess network accessibilityDetermine if the application is exposed to untrusted networks (check firewall rules, web server vhost configuration, or network ACLs)Affected if The login page is reachable from untrusted networks without additional authentication barriers
Your environment is affected if Hostel Management System version 1.0 is installed, the /justines/index.php file exists with the log_email login parameter, and the login page is network-accessible.

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 dataImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database interactions, particularly the login function. Additionally, apply input validation and output encoding for the log_email parameter. Since the exploit is publicly known and actively being used, immediate patching is critical.
