CVE-2025-61488
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 · uneditedAn issue in Senayan Library Management System (SLiMS) 9 Bulian v.9.6.1 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the scrap_image.php component and the imageURL 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 confidenceA remote code execution vulnerability exists in SLiMS 9 Bulian v9.6.1 via the scrap_image.php component. The imageURL parameter is not properly validated, allowing an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server.

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.
-
Identify SLiMS installation and versionLocate the SLiMS installation directory and check for version indicators such as a version.php file, README, or admin panel version display. Common paths include /var/www/html/senayan/ or check your web root for SLiMS directories.Affected if The installed version is SLiMS 9 Bulian v9.6.1
-
Locate scrap_image.php componentSearch the web root for the file scrap_image.php. In typical SLiMS installations, it may be found under the admin or lib directories. Use: find /path/to/webroot -name "scrap_image.php"Affected if The file scrap_image.php exists in the SLiMS installation
-
Check if scrap_image.php is web-accessibleAttempt to access the file via HTTP/HTTPS: http://yourdomain/path/to/scrap_image.php. A successful request (even if returning an error) indicates the component is web-accessible.Affected if The file returns any HTTP response, indicating it is accessible via web
-
Inspect imageURL parameter validationExamine the source code of scrap_image.php and search for input validation or sanitization on the imageURL parameter. Look for functions like filter_var, preg_match, htmlspecialchars, or any whitelist/blacklist logic applied to this parameter.Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or filtering is performed on the imageURL parameter before use
-
Verify vulnerability trigger conditionReview the code to confirm the imageURL parameter is used in file operations (file_get_contents, include, require, or similar) without validation that restricts it to valid image URLs only.Affected if The imageURL parameter is used in dynamic file operations without strict URL validation allowing code execution
If running SLiMS 9 Bulian v9.6.1 with web-accessible scrap_image.php that lacks proper input validation on the imageURL parameter, the environment is affected by this CVE.
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 dataApply vendor patch or harden scrap_image.php by implementing strict input validation and sanitization on the imageURL parameter to prevent arbitrary code execution.
