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 security vulnerability has been detected in SourceCodester Survey Application System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /view_survey.php. Such manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly 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 · high confidence

A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Survey Application System 1.0 within the /view_survey.php file. The ID parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This could enable unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or potential remote code execution depending on database configuration.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in view_survey.php to properly sanitize the ID parameter. As an immediate temporary measure, consider deploying a WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts while the code fix is implemented.

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. Verify Survey Application System installation
    Locate the web application's root directory and confirm the presence of SourceCodester or Oretnom23 Survey Application System files. Check for characteristic files like view_survey.php, index.php, or config files that identify this specific application.
    Affected if The application directory contains Survey Application System files from Oretnom23 or SourceCodester.
  2. Confirm installed version
    Examine application files for version indicators such as version.php, README files, or the footer/config of the application. Compare the found version number against the affected version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 of the Oretnom23 Survey Application System.
  3. Locate vulnerable file
    Check for the presence of /view_survey.php in the web application root directory or any subdirectory. This file handles survey viewing functionality.
    Affected if The file view_survey.php exists in the application.
  4. Check ID parameter usage
    Review the source code of view_survey.php and locate where the ID parameter is used in database queries. Look for unsanitized $_GET or $_POST calls referencing 'id' that are directly inserted into SQL statements.
    Affected if The code contains unsanitized SQL queries using the ID parameter from user input.

You are affected if you are running Oretnom23 Survey Application System version 1.0 with the view_survey.php file containing unsanitized ID parameter handling.

Mitigation

Replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in view_survey.php to properly sanitize the ID parameter. As an immediate temporary measure, consider deploying a WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts while the code fix is implemented.
