CVE-2025-11557
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 has been found in projectworlds Gate Pass Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /add-pass.php. Such manipulation of the argument fullname leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the 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 confidenceA critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in projectworlds Gate Pass Management System 1.0. The vulnerability is located in the fullname parameter of /add-pass.php, where user input is not properly sanitized before being used in database queries. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially gaining full database access or compromising the application.

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 vulnerable PHP fileSearch the web server document root for the file /add-pass.php or add-pass.php in the gate pass management system installation directory.Affected if The file add-pass.php exists in the application directory structure.
-
Confirm the application versionCheck the application's main index file, README, or any version file for the exact version number. Compare against the affected version: 1.0.Affected if The installed version is Projectworlds Gate Pass Management System 1.0.
-
Inspect the fullname parameter handling in add-pass.phpOpen add-pass.php and search for the SQL query that handles the 'fullname' parameter. Look for direct string concatenation or interpolation of $_POST['fullname'] or $_REQUEST['fullname'] into the SQL query without using prepared statements or parameter binding.Affected if The code shows direct insertion of the fullname parameter into a SQL query (e.g., $sql = "INSERT INTO... '$fullname'...") rather than using prepared statements with placeholders.
-
Verify database interaction uses direct queriesReview add-pass.php to see if mysqli_query, mysql_query, PDO::query, or similar functions are called with SQL strings built using user input, rather than using parameterized queries.Affected if Database queries are constructed by concatenating user input directly into SQL strings.
If the application is version 1.0 and add-pass.php contains SQL queries that directly embed the fullname parameter without prepared statements, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

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 dataImmediate remediation requires updating the /add-pass.php file to use parameterized queries (prepared statements) instead of directly embedding user input in SQL strings. Input validation and escaping should also be implemented as defense-in-depth. The publicly available exploit means urgent patching is critical.
