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 · unedited
A flaw has been found in Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot up to 20251014. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /Auth.php of the component Login. This manipulation causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. 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 · moderate confidence

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the /Auth.php login component of Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot up to the 20251014 version. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unauthenticated login inputs, potentially enabling data exfiltration or authentication bypass.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations in Auth.php and add comprehensive input validation/sanitization for all user-supplied login parameters. If the vendor remains unresponsive, consider applying third-party patches or migrating to a supported solution.

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. Confirm Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot installation
    Locate the web application directory and identify the Ghost Hot Spot installation. Check for the presence of Auth.php in the web root or expected application path.
    Affected if The application is present and running.
  2. Determine the installed version
    Locate and read the version file, changelog, or version indicator within the Ghost Hot Spot installation. Common locations include a version.php file, a config file, or the main index file header.
    Affected if The version is 20251014 or earlier (any version up to and including 20251014 is affected).
  3. Verify Auth.php exists in the login path
    Check for the presence of /Auth.php in the web-accessible directory structure. This is the vulnerable login component.
    Affected if Auth.php exists and is accessible via the web server.
  4. Confirm unauthenticated access to the login component
    Attempt to access the Auth.php login page without any authentication credentials. The vulnerability is exploitable through unauthenticated login inputs.
    Affected if The login page loads without requiring prior authentication.
  5. Inspect database interaction in Auth.php
    Examine the source code of Auth.php for direct string concatenation in SQL queries, particularly around username and password parameter handling. Look for SQL query construction that uses user-supplied input without parameterized queries.
    Affected if The code contains SQL queries built using string concatenation with login parameters rather than prepared statements.

The environment is affected if Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot version 20251014 or earlier is installed, Auth.php is present and accessible, and the login component uses SQL query construction vulnerable to injection.
