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. Locate the application installation
    Search for the Online Shoe Store application files on the server. Common paths may include /var/www/html/, /www/, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Look for directories containing shoe store or online store related files.
    Affected if The application is not found on the system, then the user is not affected by this CVE.
  2. Identify the application version
    Check for version indicators such as a version.php file, README.txt, or version information in the main index.php or config files. Compare the found version against version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0, indicating the user may be affected.
  3. Verify contactus1.php exists
    Locate the contactus1.php file within the application directory structure. This file is where the vulnerability exists.
    Affected if The file contactus1.php does not exist, then the user is not affected.
  4. Inspect the Message parameter handling
    Open contactus1.php and examine how the Message parameter is processed. Look for SQL query construction that uses the Message parameter directly without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or sanitization functions.
    Affected if The Message parameter is used directly in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization, indicating the vulnerability is present.

The user is affected if they have Code Projects Online Shoe Store version 1.0 installed with the contactus1.php file present and the Message parameter processed in SQL queries without parameterized queries.
