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.
-
Identify application versionLocate version information in the application source code, typically in a README file, header comment, or configuration file. Search for 'Refugee Food Management System' and confirm the version number is 1.0.Affected if The installed version is Refugee Food Management System 1.0
-
Locate vulnerable fileCheck if the file /home/regfood.php exists in the web root or application directory. On Linux systems, use 'find / -name regfood.php 2>/dev/null' or inspect the application directory structure.Affected if The file /home/regfood.php exists in the application installation
-
Inspect parameter handling in regfood.phpOpen /home/regfood.php in a text editor or use 'grep -n "\$a" /home/regfood.php' to find where the 'a' parameter is used. Look for direct insertion of the parameter into SQL queries without prepared statements or proper escaping.Affected if The 'a' parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization
-
Verify application database connectivityCheck the application's database configuration file (often config.php, db.php, or similar in the application root) to confirm the application connects to a MySQL or other SQL database.Affected if The application connects to a MySQL or other SQL database and uses the vulnerable code path in regfood.php
You are affected if you have Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 with the file /home/regfood.php present and the 'a' parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements.

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 dataImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations, apply input validation and sanitization on the 'a' parameter, and review other files in the application for similar SQL injection patterns.
