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 SQL Injection Vulnerability in CentralSquare Community Development 19.5.7 allows attackers to inject SQL via the permit_no field.

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 · moderate confidence

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in CentralSquare Community Development version 19.5.7, specifically in the permit_no field. Attackers can inject malicious SQL commands through this input, potentially allowing unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or complete system compromise.

MitigationRemediate by implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations involving the permit_no field, combined with strict input validation. Apply vendor-supplied patches immediately as this critical (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability is likely being actively targeted.

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 CentralSquare Community Development version
    Locate the installed version of CentralSquare Community Development by checking the application metadata, About page, or system information panel within the software. If accessible via command line, use the vendor-provided version query command.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 19.5.7
  2. Verify permit_no field is accessible
    Identify whether the permit_no input field is exposed in the Community Development web interface, typically found in permit search, permit lookup, or building permit inquiry functions.
    Affected if The permit_no field is available and accepts user input in any public or authenticated portal
  3. Check for direct SQL execution on permit_no
    Review application logs, database query logs, or web application firewall (WAF) logs for the permit_no parameter to determine if raw SQL concatenation is occurring rather than parameterized queries.
    Affected if SQL queries involving permit_no are being constructed through string concatenation or direct interpolation without prepared statements
  4. Inspect application database configuration
    Examine the application configuration files or source code for database connection settings and SQL query handling related to permit operations. Look for query patterns that directly embed the permit_no parameter.
    Affected if The application uses dynamic SQL construction where permit_no input is inserted directly into query strings

A user is affected if they are running CentralSquare Community Development version 19.5.7 and the permit_no field is exposed and processed through non-parameterized SQL queries.
