CVE-2025-15198
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 · uneditedA weakness has been identified in code-projects College Notes Uploading System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /login.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument User can lead to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the login.php script of College Notes Uploading System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the User parameter. The lack of proper input sanitization or parameterized queries in the authentication logic enables attackers to manipulate SQL statements, potentially bypassing authentication or exfiltrating data from the database.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm product installationLocate the College Notes Uploading System installation and verify the version is 1.0 by checking the source code, README, or version fileAffected if The installed version is College Notes Uploading System 1.0 from Code Projects
-
Locate login.phpFind the login.php file within the web application's root directory or authentication module folderAffected if The login.php file exists in the application
-
Inspect User parameter handlingOpen login.php and examine how the User parameter is processed in the authentication logic - look for variables receiving user input without sanitizationAffected if The User parameter is directly used in SQL queries without prepared statements or parameterization
-
Verify SQL query constructionSearch for SQL query strings (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) in login.php that concatenate or embed the User parameter directlyAffected if Dynamic SQL queries concatenate the User input without escaping or using bound parameters
-
Check for input sanitization functionsLook for sanitization functions like mysqli_real_escape_string, htmlspecialchars, or validation routines applied to the User parameter before database operationsAffected if No input sanitization or validation is applied to the User parameter before SQL execution
If the College Notes Uploading System version 1.0 is installed and login.php contains direct SQL query construction using the User parameter without prepared statements or escaping, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL query construction with parameterized queries or prepared statements for all user-supplied inputs in login.php. Implement proper input validation and least-privilege database accounts to limit the impact of any successful injection.
