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 Refugee Food Management System installationLocate and examine the application files. Check for the presence of the 'editfood.php' file in the /home/ directory. Identify the application by reviewing any README, index.php, or configuration files that identify the software name and version.Affected if The application is Fabian Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 with the /home/editfood.php file present.
-
Verify the vulnerable script existsCheck if the file /home/editfood.php exists in the web root directory. Examine its contents to confirm it handles HTTP request parameters.Affected if The file /home/editfood.php exists and processes user input through the a, b, c, or d parameters.
-
Inspect parameter handling in editfood.phpOpen /home/editfood.php and search for usage of $_GET or $_REQUEST with parameters 'a', 'b', 'c', or 'd'. Check if these parameters are directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or use of prepared statements.Affected if Parameters a, b, c, or d are directly used in SQL queries without escaping, sanitization, or prepared statements.
-
Check database connectivityVerify the application has an active database connection. Review configuration files (such as db.php, config.php, or similar) to confirm database credentials and connectivity.Affected if The application connects to a MySQL or other SQL database where the injection could execute arbitrary queries.
A user is affected if they are running Fabian Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 with the /home/editfood.php file present and the application processes unsanitized parameters a/b/c/d in SQL queries.
