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 was found in code-projects Inventory Management System 1.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the file /php_action/fetchSelectedBrand.php. The manipulation of the argument brandId leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack 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 the Inventory Management System 1.0's /php_action/fetchSelectedBrand.php file allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the unsanitized brandId parameter. The lack of input validation or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially extracting, modifying, or deleting sensitive data.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL query construction with parameterized queries (prepared statements) using PDO or mysqli, implement strict input validation on the brandId parameter, and apply 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. Identify installed version of Inventory Management System
    Check application files for version indicators. Look for version.php, README files, or version comments in source code. The affected version is specifically 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is Code Projects Inventory Management System version 1.0
  2. Locate vulnerable PHP file
    Search for the file /php_action/fetchSelectedBrand.php in the web root directory. Verify its existence and check file permissions.
    Affected if The file /php_action/fetchSelectedBrand.php exists in the application directory
  3. Inspect brandId parameter handling
    Open /php_action/fetchSelectedBrand.php and examine how the brandId parameter is processed. Look for direct insertion into SQL queries without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization.
    Affected if The brandId parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries
  4. Test parameter injection capability
    If accessible, send an HTTP request to fetchSelectedBrand.php with a test value in brandId parameter (e.g., brandId=1' OR '1'='1) and observe database response behavior.
    Affected if The application accepts and processes unsanitized brandId input, allowing SQL syntax injection
  5. Verify application network exposure
    Determine if the PHP application is accessible over network (not localhost-only) by checking web server configuration and firewall rules.
    Affected if The vulnerable endpoint is reachable from network (not restricted to localhost)

A system is affected if it runs Code Projects Inventory Management System version 1.0 with the vulnerable fetchSelectedBrand.php file exposed and the brandId parameter processed without prepared statements or input sanitization.
