CVE-2025-11040
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 detected in code-projects Hostel Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php?view=view. The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
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 · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Hostel Management System 1.0's admin module at /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php?view=view. The 'ID' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and public exploits exist.

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 Hostel Management System installationLocate the justines directory or the main index.php file of the Hostel Management System on your web server.Affected if The application directory (justines) is present on the server.
-
Verify the affected versionCheck the version number of the installed Hostel Management System (typically in readme.txt, about.php, or the admin dashboard).Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0.
-
Check if vulnerable endpoint existsInspect the web server for the presence of /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php.Affected if The file /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php exists in the web root.
-
Determine if application is network accessibleAttempt to access the /justines/admin/ login page or the mod_users endpoint over HTTP/HTTPS.Affected if The application admin interface is reachable over the network.
-
Assess ID parameter handlingReview the source code of /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php, specifically around the index.php?view=view handler, and look for the ID parameter usage in SQL queries without prepared statements.Affected if The ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameter binding or input sanitization.
You are affected if Hostel Management System version 1.0 is installed and the /justines/admin/mod_users/index.php file exists with the ID parameter being used unsanitized in SQL queries.

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 parameterized queries/prepared statements for the ID parameter. Conduct a full code audit to identify and remediate similar SQL injection vulnerabilities throughout the application.
