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 Movie Ticketing System 1.0. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /logIn.php. The manipulation of the argument postName leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated 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 Movie Ticketing System 1.0 login page (/logIn.php). The postName parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. This can lead to unauthorized database access, authentication bypass, or data exfiltration.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) using PDO or mysqli. Validate and sanitize all user inputs before database operations. Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts.

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 if Movie Ticketing System is installed
    Search the web root directory for files named logIn.php or files containing 'Movie Ticketing System' text. Common paths: /var/www/html/, /htdocs/, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\
    Affected if A file named logIn.php exists in the web application directory and the application identifies as 'Carmelo Movie Ticketing System' version 1.0
  2. Locate the vulnerable login file
    Navigate to the web root and verify the presence of /logIn.php file. Open it and search for the 'postName' parameter handling in the code
    Affected if The file /logIn.php exists and contains code that processes the 'postName' parameter from POST requests
  3. Check for unsanitized SQL query construction
    Examine /logIn.php for SQL query patterns. Look for direct string concatenation of the postName parameter into SQL statements without using prepared statements or parameter binding
    Affected if The code contains SQL queries where $_POST['postName'] is directly concatenated into the query string (e.g., "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='" . $_POST['postName'] . "'")
  4. Verify database interaction with unsanitized input
    Check if the login page directly passes user input to database query functions like mysqli_query() or mysql_query() without sanitization functions or prepared statements
    Affected if The login logic executes SQL queries using unsanitized user input from the postName parameter
  5. Confirm the application version
    Check for a version file, README, or footer in the application that displays the version number 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is Carmelo Movie Ticketing System version 1.0

The environment is affected if Movie Ticketing System version 1.0 is installed, the /logIn.php file exists, and the postName parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization.
