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 · unedited
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in STEdb Corp. STEdb Forms stedb-forms allows SQL Injection.This issue affects STEdb Forms: from n/a through <= 1.0.4.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in STEdb Forms allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 1.0.4, potentially allowing unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or data manipulation.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of STEdb Forms when available, or implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations to neutralize SQL injection vectors.

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. Verify STEdb Forms is installed
    Look for STEdb Forms application files in your web server document root, or check your software inventory/package manager for the STEdb Forms package.
    Affected if STEdb Forms is found installed on the system.
  2. Determine installed version
    Check the version file, about page, or application header within the STEdb Forms installation directory. Common locations include a version.php, info.json, or the main index file containing version metadata.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.4 or lower.
  3. Confirm database connectivity is active
    Check the application configuration file for database connection settings (e.g., db_config.php, config.xml) and verify the database connection is enabled and pointing to a live database.
    Affected if Database connectivity is configured and active.
  4. Identify accessible input forms
    Review the application's form handlers and identify which forms accept user input and interact with the database. Check for forms that perform SQL queries based on user-submitted data.
    Affected if User-accessible forms that query the database are present and exposed.
  5. Inspect input validation settings
    Examine the application's configuration or code for any input validation, sanitization, or parameterization settings. Look for flags like 'input_filter', 'sanitize', or 'use_prepared_statements' in config files.
    Affected if No input sanitization or parameterized queries are configured for form inputs.

You are affected if STEdb Forms version 1.0.4 or lower is installed with database-enabled forms that lack input sanitization or parameterized queries.
