CVE-2025-1981
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 · uneditedImproper neutralization of input provided by a low-privileged user into a file search functionality in Ready_'s Invoices module allows for SQL Injection 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 · high confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Invoices module's file search functionality in Ready_ software. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user input, allowing a low-privileged attacker to inject malicious SQL queries through the file search parameter.

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 Ready_ installation and versionLocate the Ready_ installation directory and check the version file or metadata (such as version.info, package.json, or the admin panel About section) to determine the installed version.Affected if The installed version matches any version known to contain CVE-2025-1981 in your organization's asset inventory.
-
Confirm Invoices module is enabledLog into the Ready_ admin interface and navigate to the module management or feature toggles section. Verify whether the Invoices module is installed and enabled for use.Affected if The Invoices module is active and accessible to users.
-
Check file search functionality existsAccess the Invoices module as an authenticated user and locate the file search feature (typically a search box or file lookup interface within the Invoices section).Affected if The file search functionality is present and accepts user input.
-
Inspect search parameter handlingUse a browser developer tool or proxy to capture the HTTP request when performing a file search. Examine whether the search query is passed as a URL parameter or request body parameter without apparent sanitization or use of parameterized queries.Affected if User-supplied search input is sent directly to the database query without visible sanitization, prepared statements, or input validation.
A user is affected if Ready_ with the Invoices module is running a version containing this vulnerability and the file search feature is accessible with user-supplied input being directly included in SQL queries.

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 proper input validation and use parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions in the file search functionality. Alternatively, deploy a WAF rule to block SQL injection patterns until the code-level fix is applied.
