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
Imaster's Patient Records Management System is vulnerable to SQL Injection in the endpoint ‘/projects/hospital/admin/complaints.php’ through the ‘id’ parameter.

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 confidence

SQL Injection vulnerability in Imaster's Patient Records Management System where the 'id' parameter in /projects/hospital/admin/complaints.php is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries and potentially extract, modify, or delete sensitive patient data from the database.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements), implement strict input validation on the 'id' parameter, and apply least-privilege database accounts to limit the impact of any successful injection.

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. Identify the application
    Check if your web application is Imaster's Patient Records Management System by reviewing application files, headers, or documentation. Look for branding, copyright notices, or application metadata that confirms the product name.
    Affected if The application is Imaster's Patient Records Management System
  2. Locate the vulnerable file
    Search for the file /projects/hospital/admin/complaints.php in your web root directory. This file is part of the hospital admin module.
    Affected if The file /projects/hospital/admin/complaints.php exists in your installation
  3. Verify the id parameter is used
    Open complaints.php and search for usage of the 'id' parameter in $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST superglobals. Check how this parameter is handled in the code.
    Affected if The code processes an 'id' parameter from user input without sanitization
  4. Check for SQL injection vulnerability
    Review the code around the 'id' parameter usage. Look for dynamic SQL query construction where 'id' is concatenated directly into the query string instead of using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The 'id' parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements, input validation, or escaping functions
  5. Assess network exposure
    Determine if the /projects/hospital/admin/ endpoint is accessible from the network. Check web server configuration and access control lists.
    Affected if The admin interface containing complaints.php is exposed to untrusted networks

Your environment is affected if you run Imaster's Patient Records Management System with the file /projects/hospital/admin/complaints.php present, and the 'id' parameter is processed in SQL queries without prepared statements or input validation.
