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.
-
Locate the Simple Pizza Ordering System installationSearch the web server document root for files belonging to the Carmelo Simple Pizza Ordering System, typically found in directories like /var/www/html/, /www/, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. Look for files such as index.php, header.php, or the vulnerable addcatexec.php file.Affected if The application files are present on the server
-
Verify the application versionExamine version information in the application source code, typically found in a config file, readme.txt, or in comments within index.php or other main files. Compare the found version to the affected version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 (Carmelo Simple Pizza Ordering System)
-
Confirm the vulnerable file existsCheck for the presence of the file addcatexec.php within the application directory structure. This file handles category addition operations and contains the vulnerable textfield parameter.Affected if The file addcatexec.php exists in the application web directory
-
Identify if the application is actively using a databaseExamine the application configuration (commonly in db.php, config.php, or similar) to determine if the application is configured with a MySQL or MariaDB database connection. SQL injection requires an active database connection to be exploitable.Affected if The application has an active database configuration and is operational
The environment is affected if the Carmelo Simple Pizza Ordering System version 1.0 is installed and the addcatexec.php file with the vulnerable textfield parameter is present and connected to a database.
