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 flaw has been found in code-projects Student File Management System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /admin/save_student.php. Executing manipulation of the argument stud_no can lead to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been published 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

SQL injection vulnerability in the Student File Management System 1.0 at /admin/save_student.php. The 'stud_no' parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL statements and potentially exfiltrate or manipulate database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the stud_no parameter and all user inputs. Apply input validation and ensure the database user has minimal required privileges.

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 installed version of Fabian Student File Management System
    Locate the application installation directory and check for version files, headers, or metadata files (e.g., version.php, README, or About page) that specify the version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 (Fabian Student File Management System)
  2. Verify presence of vulnerable file
    Check if the file /admin/save_student.php exists in the web server document root under the application directory
    Affected if The file save_student.php exists in the /admin/ path
  3. Inspect source code for stud_no parameter handling
    Open /admin/save_student.php and locate the code that handles the 'stud_no' parameter. Look for SQL query construction that directly incorporates this parameter without visible sanitization or use of prepared statements
    Affected if The code contains SQL queries using the stud_no parameter without parameterized queries or proper escaping
  4. Confirm database connectivity and user input pathway
    Verify the application is configured with a database connection and that the save_student.php endpoint accepts user input via GET or POST methods for the stud_no parameter
    Affected if The endpoint accepts stud_no from user input and passes it directly to database queries

Your environment is affected if you run Fabian Student File Management System version 1.0 with the /admin/save_student.php file present and the stud_no parameter handled without parameterized queries.
