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 vulnerability classified as critical was found in PHPGurukul Employee Record Management System 1.3. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin/editempeducation.php. The manipulation of the argument yopgra leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated 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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in PHPGurukul Employee Record Management System 1.3 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the yopgra parameter in /admin/editempeducation.php. The lack of proper input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in editempeducation.php and perform input validation on the yopgra parameter. Conduct a broader code audit for similar SQL injection vulnerabilities across the application.

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. Confirm Employee Record Management System installation
    Locate the application files on the server. Look for the main directory containing the PHPGurukul Employee Record Management System, typically found in the web root (e.g., /var/www/html/ or similar). Check for known entry points like index.php or login.php.
    Affected if The application directory is present and contains PHPGurukul Employee Record Management System files.
  2. Verify the installed version is 1.3
    Check for a version file, readme.txt, or the footer/header in the application for the version number. Compare against the affected version range.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.3.
  3. Locate the vulnerable editempeducation.php file
    Navigate to the /admin directory within the application and confirm the presence of editempeducation.php.
    Affected if The file /admin/editempeducation.php exists in the application directory.
  4. Inspect the yopgra parameter handling in the code
    Open /admin/editempeducation.php and examine how the yopgra parameter is handled in the code. Look for direct insertion into SQL queries without using prepared statements or proper escaping.
    Affected if The code contains SQL queries that directly incorporate the yopgra parameter without parameterization or sanitization functions.
  5. Confirm the application is accessible and the admin interface is reachable
    Test network access to the web server and verify the /admin/editempeducation.php endpoint responds. The vulnerability requires the application to be running and the admin functionality to be accessible.
    Affected if The application is running and the vulnerable endpoint is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS.

A user is affected if they are running PHPGurukul Employee Record Management System version 1.3 with the /admin/editempeducation.php file present and the yopgra parameter handled insecurely in the code, and the application is accessible to network requests.

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

Replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in editempeducation.php and perform input validation on the yopgra parameter. Conduct a broader code audit for similar SQL injection vulnerabilities across the application.
