CVE-2025-12853
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 SourceCodester Best House Rental Management System 1.0. This affects the function delete_house of the file /admin_class.php. Executing manipulation of the argument ID can lead to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. 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 delete_house function of admin_class.php allows remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter and execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or complete database compromise.

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.
-
Identify the installed version of Best House Rental Management SystemCheck the system for version information - look for version files, system info pages, or admin panels that display the software version. Compare against version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is confirmed to be 1.0 (exact match)
-
Locate the admin_class.php fileSearch the web server filesystem for admin_class.php, typically found in the application root or class directories. This file contains the vulnerable delete_house function.Affected if The file exists and is part of the installed application
-
Verify the delete_house function contains the vulnerable SQL query patternOpen admin_class.php and locate the delete_house function. Examine whether the ID parameter is directly concatenated into an SQL query without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization.Affected if The function constructs SQL queries using the ID parameter without parameterized queries or proper escaping
-
Confirm the delete_house function is exposed without authenticationCheck if the function can be invoked via HTTP request without requiring valid admin credentials. Test accessing the function endpoint with an unauthenticated request.Affected if The function is accessible to unauthenticated users (no authentication required to trigger the vulnerable code path)
A user is affected if they are running version 1.0 AND the delete_house function in admin_class.php is accessible without authentication AND the ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without prepared statements.

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 in the delete_house function to properly sanitize the ID parameter before database execution.
