A flaw has been found in Abdullah-Hasan-Sajjad Online-School up to f09dda77b4c29aa083ff57f4b1eb991b98b68883. This affects an unknown part of the file /studentLogin.php. This manipulation of the argument Email causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This product adopts a rolling release strategy to maintain continuous delivery The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 /studentLogin.php allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the Email parameter. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for the Email parameter in studentLogin.php and all database interactions. Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using them in SQL queries.

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. Locate studentLogin.php in the web root
    Search the web application directory for the file studentLogin.php. Common paths include /var/www/html/, /web/, or the application's document root.
    Affected if The file studentLogin.php exists in the application and handles user authentication via an Email parameter.
  2. Examine the Email parameter handling in studentLogin.php
    Open studentLogin.php and search for $_POST['Email'] or $_GET['Email']. Check how this parameter is used in any SQL query construction.
    Affected if The Email parameter is directly concatenated or interpolated into an SQL query string without sanitization or prepared statements.
  3. Verify SQL query construction method
    Look for patterns like $query = "SELECT ... WHERE email = '" . $_POST['Email'] . "'" or similar string concatenation in the file. Check for absence of prepare(), bindParam(), or mysqli_stmt().
    Affected if The SQL query is built using string concatenation or interpolation with the Email input rather than parameterized queries.
  4. Check for input sanitization functions
    Search the file for sanitization functions such as mysqli_real_escape_string(), htmlspecialchars(), or addslashes() applied to the Email parameter before use in SQL.
    Affected if No input sanitization function is applied to the Email parameter before it is used in the SQL query, or sanitization is present but inadequate (e.g., missing parameterized queries).

If studentLogin.php exists, processes the Email parameter via direct string concatenation into SQL queries, and lacks prepared statements or adequate input sanitization, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
