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 Hospital Management System installationLocate the web application directory and identify if phpgurukul Hospital Management System is installed. Check for typical paths like /var/www/html/hospital or similar web root directories.Affected if The phpgurukul Hospital Management System is present on the server
-
Verify product version is 4.0Check version files, README files, or meta information within the application. Common locations include version.php, readme.txt, or the main index.php header comments. Compare installed version to the affected range: version 4.0Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.0
-
Locate vulnerable file add-doctor.phpSearch for the file add-doctor.php within the web application directory structure, typically under a /admin or /doctor directory.Affected if The file add-doctor.php exists in the application
-
Verify docname parameter is accessibleAccess the add-doctor.php page via HTTP request (e.g., GET or POST to the application's URL for that page) and confirm the docname input field is present in the form.Affected if The add-doctor.php page is accessible and contains a docname parameter
-
Confirm database connectivity is activeVerify the application database connection is configured and functional by checking configuration files (like config.php or db.php) for valid database credentials and connection settings.Affected if The application has an active database connection configured
If the phpgurukul Hospital Management System version 4.0 is installed with the add-doctor.php file accessible and the application has an active database connection, the environment is affected by this unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability.
