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 weakness has been identified in SourceCodester Train Station Ticketing System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /ajax.php?action=login. This manipulation of the argument Username causes sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited.

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 the login functionality of SourceCodester Train Station Ticketing System 1.0. The Username parameter in /ajax.php?action=login is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries remotely.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements. Implement proper input validation and escaping for all user-supplied data before using it 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. Identify the installed version of the Train Station Ticketing System
    Locate the application files and check for version identifiers in source files, README, or configuration files. Look for version numbers in the application root directory or within PHP files that contain version comments.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0 (Oretnom23 Train Station Ticketing System)
  2. Locate the vulnerable ajax.php file
    Search for the file ajax.php in the web application root directory. This file typically handles AJAX requests including the login action.
    Affected if The file /ajax.php exists and is accessible via the web server
  3. Examine the login function in ajax.php
    Open ajax.php and locate the code handling the 'login' action. Look for the section that processes the Username parameter from POST or GET requests.
    Affected if The login action handler processes the Username parameter without proper input handling
  4. Check for lack of parameterized queries in the login SQL query
    Review the SQL query used in the login function. Inspect whether user input (Username) is concatenated directly into the SQL string or passed as a parameter to a prepared statement.
    Affected if The Username parameter is concatenated directly into the SQL query string rather than being bound as a parameter to a prepared statement
  5. Verify the login endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to access or analyze the /ajax.php?action=login endpoint. This can be done via web request testing or by confirming the route exists in the application routing logic.
    Affected if The login endpoint is publicly or internally accessible and accepts user input for the Username field

The environment is affected if the Train Station Ticketing System version 1.0 is installed and the ajax.php login function uses direct string concatenation for the Username parameter instead of parameterized queries.
