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
A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the edit_product.php file of PuneethReddyHC Online Shopping System Advanced 1.0. The product_id GET parameter is unsafely passed to a SQL query without proper validation or parameterization.

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

A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the edit_product.php file of the PuneethReddyHC Online Shopping System Advanced 1.0. The product_id GET parameter is directly concatenated into a SQL query without any input validation or use of prepared statements, allowing an attacker to manipulate the query structure.

MitigationReplace the unsafe SQL query construction with parameterized queries (prepared statements) using PDO or mysqli, and implement proper input validation for the product_id parameter before using it in database queries.

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. Locate the application installation
    Search for files or directories containing 'Online Shopping' or 'PuneethReddyHC' in the web server document root
    Affected if The application is present on the server
  2. Find edit_product.php
    Locate the edit_product.php file within the application directory structure
    Affected if The file exists in the application
  3. Inspect SQL query handling
    Open edit_product.php and examine how the product_id GET parameter is used in SQL queries - look for direct concatenation without prepared statements or escaping functions
    Affected if The code shows direct concatenation of $_GET['product_id'] into SQL queries without parameterization
  4. Verify parameter handling
    Check if input validation or type casting (such as intval or is_numeric) is applied to product_id before SQL use
    Affected if No input validation or type casting is performed on product_id before SQL execution
  5. Confirm network accessibility
    Determine if the application is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS to external users
    Affected if The vulnerable endpoint is reachable from the network

You are affected if the Online Shopping System Advanced is installed, edit_product.php contains direct SQL concatenation using the product_id parameter without prepared statements or input validation, and the endpoint is accessible.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Replace the unsafe SQL query construction with parameterized queries (prepared statements) using PDO or mysqli, and implement proper input validation for the product_id parameter before using it in database queries.
