CVE-2025-7539
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 · uneditedA vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in code-projects Online Appointment Booking System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /getdoctordaybooking.php. The manipulation of the argument cid leads to sql injection. The attack may 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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the Online Appointment Booking System v1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the 'cid' parameter in /getdoctordaybooking.php. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries on this parameter enables attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially extracting, modifying, or deleting sensitive data.

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.
-
Confirm application installationLocate the Online Appointment Booking System installation directory on the web serverAffected if The application is present on the server and accessible via web
-
Verify application versionCheck the version of the installed Online Appointment Booking System (typically in about.php, version file, or admin dashboard)Affected if Version is 1.0 exactly
-
Locate vulnerable scriptCheck if the file /getdoctordaybooking.php exists in the web root or application directoryAffected if The file /getdoctordaybooking.php exists in the accessible web directory
-
Identify cid parameter exposureAccess the getdoctordaybooking.php script via HTTP request and observe if the 'cid' parameter is processed without sanitization (test with a benign payload like cid=1' to trigger SQL syntax error)Affected if The 'cid' parameter is accepted and processed by the script without proper input validation or parameterized queries
-
Review source code for sanitizationInspect the getdoctordaybooking.php source code to verify whether the 'cid' parameter is passed directly into SQL queries without prepared statements, parameterized queries, or input sanitization functionsAffected if The code contains direct SQL query construction using the 'cid' parameter without prepared statements or input sanitization
A user is affected if they are running Online Appointment Booking System version 1.0 with the /getdoctordaybooking.php script accessible and the 'cid' parameter handled without parameterized queries or input sanitization.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries in /getdoctordaybooking.php to properly sanitize the 'cid' parameter input, and implement input validation. Consider applying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as an additional layer of defense.
