Such manipulation of the argument a leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public 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 Refugee Food Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the 'a' parameter in the /home/addusers.php file. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in addusers.php, perform input validation on all user-supplied parameters, and apply any vendor security patches. If no patch exists, consider disabling the affected functionality until a fix is 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. Confirm application version
    Identify the installed version of Fabian Refugee Food Management System by checking application metadata, about page, or installation files. Compare against version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
  2. Locate the affected file
    Verify that the file /home/addusers.php exists in the web application's deployment directory.
    Affected if The file /home/addusers.php is present in the deployment
  3. Inspect parameter handling in addusers.php
    Open /home/addusers.php and examine how the 'a' parameter is handled. Look for direct insertion of the 'a' parameter into SQL queries without using prepared statements, parameterized queries, or input sanitization functions.
    Affected if The 'a' parameter is used directly in SQL queries without prepared statements or sanitization
  4. Verify application is network-accessible
    Confirm the web application is accessible over the network (HTTP/HTTPS). This is a remote vulnerability requiring network access to exploit.
    Affected if The application is accessible remotely and meets the above conditions

A user is affected if they have Fabian Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 deployed with the /home/addusers.php file accessible and the 'a' parameter used unsafely in SQL queries.
