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
In manikandan580 School-management-system 1.0, a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in /studentms/admin/between-date-reprtsdetails.php through the fromdate POST 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 confidence

A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the School Management System version 1.0. The fromdate POST parameter in /studentms/admin/between-date-reprtsdetails.php is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code that uses time-delay functions to infer information from the database based on response times.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) to prevent SQL injection. Validate and sanitize all user inputs, and apply the principle of least privilege to the database user.

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. Verify School Management System v1.0 is installed
    Locate the School Management System installation directory. Check for version identifier files (such as version.php, README, or an admin panel that displays the version). Compare your installed version to the affected version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is School Management System 1.0.
  2. Confirm the vulnerable PHP file exists
    Check if the file /studentms/admin/between-date-reprtsdetails.php exists in your web root or application directory.
    Affected if The file between-date-reprtsdetails.php exists in the studentms/admin directory.
  3. Inspect the source code for dynamic SQL usage
    Open between-date-reprtsdetails.php and examine how the fromdate POST parameter is handled in SQL queries. Look for direct concatenation of the parameter into SQL strings (e.g., $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE date = '" . $_POST['fromdate'] . "'") versus parameterized queries using prepared statements.
    Affected if The fromdate parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using prepared statements or input sanitization.
  4. Test the parameter for SQL injection response
    Send a POST request to /studentms/admin/between-date-reprtsdetails.php with a benign fromdate value (e.g., '2025-01-01') and observe the response. Then send a time-based payload such as fromdate=2025-01-01' AND SLEEP(5)-- to see if the response is delayed.
    Affected if The application responds to time-delay SQL injection payloads in the fromdate parameter, confirming the vulnerability is exploitable.

You are affected if you have School Management System version 1.0 installed, the vulnerable PHP file exists, and the fromdate parameter is handled with dynamic SQL rather than prepared statements.
