CVE-2025-5574
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 classified as critical has been found in PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System 1.3. This affects an unknown part of the file /add-company.php. The manipulation of the argument companyname leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
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 PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System 1.3 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the companyname parameter in /add-company.php. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in database queries, enabling attackers to manipulate SQL statements, potentially exfiltrating data, modifying database contents, or escalating privileges.

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 PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System is installedCheck for the presence of the application files in the web server root directory. Common paths include /var/www/html/, /htdocs/, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Look for files such as index.php, header.php, or the /add-company.php file mentioned in the CVE.Affected if The application files are found on the server
-
Verify the exact version is 1.3Inspect the application for a version identifier. Check README.txt, version.php, or any about/version page within the application. Compare the installed version against the affected range: version 1.3.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.3
-
Confirm the vulnerable file existsLocate the file /add-company.php in the web application directory. This is the specific file containing the vulnerable code that processes the companyname parameter.Affected if The file add-company.php exists in the application
-
Check if the add-company functionality is accessibleAttempt to access the add-company.php endpoint via HTTP/HTTPS to determine if the feature is enabled and reachable. For example: GET /add-company.php or /dairy-farm-shop/add-company.php depending on installation path.Affected if The endpoint returns a valid page (200 OK) indicating the feature is accessible
-
Inspect the source code for dynamic SQL usageExamine the add-company.php file source code. Look for SQL queries that concatenate or embed the companyname parameter directly into query strings without using parameterized queries or prepared statements.Affected if The code constructs SQL queries using string concatenation with the companyname parameter rather than bound parameters
A user is affected if they are running PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System version 1.3 with the add-company.php feature accessible and the code contains unsanitized SQL query construction using the companyname parameter.

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.
dbcve · scopedReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) and implement proper input validation on the companyname parameter. Apply least-privilege principles to database accounts to limit impact of successful exploitation.
Check vendor for version > 1.3 (no specific fixed version named in source material)
- Check PHPGurukul's official website (phpgurukul.com) or their GitHub repository for the latest version of Dairy Farm Shop Management System
- If a version newer than 1.3 is available, download and install it to obtain the SQL injection fix
- If no newer version is available, apply parameterized queries (prepared statements) to the /add-company.php file for the companyname parameter
- Alternatively, implement input validation and output encoding for the companyname field before database queries
- Ensure the web server runs with minimal database privileges to limit SQL injection impact
- Apply web application firewall (WAF) rules as an interim mitigation if immediate patching is not possible
