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 vulnerability was found in Jihai Jshop MiniProgram Mall System 2.9.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /index.php/api.html. The manipulation of the argument cat_id results in sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could 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 · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Jihai Jshop MiniProgram Mall System 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the cat_id parameter in the /index.php/api.html endpoint. The lack of proper input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations, particularly for the cat_id parameter in the affected API endpoint. Apply input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth measures.

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 Jihai Jshop installation
    Locate the Jshop MiniProgram Mall System files on the server, typically in the web root directory. Look for index.php and api.html files that are characteristic of this application.
    Affected if The application files are present and match the Jshop MiniProgram Mall System structure.
  2. Identify installed version
    Check version information in the application. Common locations include: a version file in the root directory, the admin panel about page, or the header/footer of the HTML source. Compare the found version to 2.9.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 2.9.0 or if the version cannot be determined but the application appears to be this specific release.
  3. Verify vulnerable endpoint exists
    Access the URL path /index.php/api.html on the server. This endpoint should respond to HTTP requests for the vulnerability to be present.
    Affected if The /index.php/api.html endpoint is accessible and returns a valid response from the Jshop application.
  4. Test cat_id parameter acceptance
    Send a test HTTP request to the /index.php/api.html endpoint including the cat_id parameter. For example: /index.php/api.html?cat_id=1. Observe if the application accepts and processes this parameter.
    Affected if The application accepts and processes the cat_id parameter in API requests to this endpoint.

If the system is running Jihai Jshop MiniProgram Mall System version 2.9.0 with the /index.php/api.html endpoint accessible and accepting the cat_id parameter, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
