The manipulation of the argument doctorname 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 Online Appointment Booking System 1.0's /ulocateus.php file allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through the unsanitized 'doctorname' parameter. This critical flaw enables complete database compromise via unsanitized user input being passed directly to SQL queries.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations in ulocateus.php, specifically for the doctorname parameter. Apply input validation and output encoding as additional defense-in-depth measures before deploying the fix to production.

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 Online Appointment Booking System installation
    Search the web server for files or directories indicating the Anisha Online Appointment Booking System (e.g., check for application signature, copyright notices, or installer remnants mentioning 'Online Appointment Booking System' or 'Anisha')
    Affected if The application is identified as the Anisha Online Appointment Booking System version 1.0
  2. Locate the vulnerable ulocateus.php file
    Search the web root for the file /ulocateus.php (check paths like /ulocateus.php, /include/ulocateus.php, or similar directories)
    Affected if The file ulocateus.php exists in the application directory
  3. Verify the application is accessible
    Attempt to access the ulocateus.php file via HTTP/HTTPS request (e.g., GET request to the full URL)
    Affected if The file is reachable and responds to requests, indicating it is publicly or internally accessible
  4. Check if the doctorname parameter is processed
    Review the ulocateus.php source code to confirm the 'doctorname' parameter is used in SQL queries without parameterized statements or input sanitization
    Affected if The code shows direct insertion of the doctorname parameter into SQL queries without prepared statements or escaping functions
  5. Test the parameter for SQL injection susceptibility
    Send a crafted request to ulocateus.php with a test payload in the doctorname parameter (e.g., doctorname=1' OR '1'='1) and observe the application response for SQL errors or unexpected behavior
    Affected if The application returns SQL syntax errors, displays database information, or behaves differently than expected, confirming the parameter is vulnerable

If the Anisha Online Appointment Booking System v1.0 is installed with an accessible ulocateus.php file that processes the doctorname parameter without prepared statements, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
