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 kidaze CourseSelectionSystem's /Profilers/SProfile/reg.php file. The USN parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in database queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. The public release of an exploit increases urgency.

MitigationImmediately implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations involving the USN parameter. Alternatively, apply the latest security update from the vendor if available.

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 if Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem is installed
    Locate the web application's installation directory and confirm the product name matches 'Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem' or related branding
    Affected if The application is the Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem and the file /Profilers/SProfile/reg.php exists in the webroot
  2. Check the application version or installation date
    Inspect version files, headers, or the application's 'About' page to determine the build date or version number
    Affected if The version or build date is on or before 2017-06-18
  3. Verify the vulnerable file exists
    Confirm the presence of the file /Profilers/SProfile/reg.php in the web application directory
    Affected if The file reg.php exists in the Profilers/SProfile/ path within the application
  4. Check if the application is network-accessible
    Determine whether the web application is accessible over the network (internal or external) via HTTP/HTTPS
    Affected if The application is reachable via network requests, allowing an attacker to send malicious USN parameter values

The environment is affected if Kidaze CourseSelectionSystem is installed with a version or build date on or before 2017-06-18 and the /Profilers/SProfile/reg.php file is present and accessible.
