CVE-2025-5435
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was found in Marwal Infotech CMS 1.0. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /page.php. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Marwal Infotech CMS 1.0's /page.php file allows remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter to inject arbitrary SQL queries. The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication and has been publicly disclosed.

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.
-
Confirm Marwal Infotech CMS installationLocate the /page.php file in the web root directory. On Linux/Unix systems, use 'find /var/www -name page.php' or check typical web directories like /var/www/html/. On Windows IIS, check C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Also look for other CMS files (index.php, admin/, config files) to confirm this specific CMS product.Affected if The /page.php file from Marwal Infotech CMS exists in the webroot and the CMS version is 1.0 or cannot be determined to be a later version.
-
Verify vulnerable parameter usageExamine the /page.php source code. Search for occurrences of '$_GET' or '$_REQUEST' handling, specifically looking for 'ID' or 'id' parameter usage in database queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements). Use grep: 'grep -n "\$_[GPR]" page.php' to find parameter retrieval, then look for SQL query construction.Affected if The /page.php file retrieves the ID parameter via GET/POST and uses it directly in a SQL query without visible sanitization, prepared statements, or parameterized queries.
-
Check web server access logs for exploitation attemptsReview web server access logs (Apache: /var/log/apache2/access.log, Nginx: /var/log/nginx/access.log, IIS: C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\) for requests to /page.php with suspicious patterns in the ID parameter such as: quotes ('), SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT), comments (--, #), or typical injection payloads (1 OR 1=1, 1' AND...).
-
Inspect database for signs of compromiseIf database access is available, query the database for unexpected administrative accounts, unauthorized data modifications, or suspicious queries in database logs. Check for: new admin users, modified user privileges, or unusual data exports. Review MySQL/PostgreSQL general query log if enabled.
You are affected if Marwal Infotech CMS 1.0 is installed with the /page.php file present and the ID parameter is used in dynamic SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in /page.php and implement proper input validation for the ID parameter. Consider deploying a WAF as a temporary compensating control.
