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 has been found in code-projects Simple Shopping Cart 1.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /register.php. The manipulation of the argument ruser_email leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched 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 /register.php file of Simple Shopping Cart 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the ruser_email parameter. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries enables attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially extracting, modifying, or deleting sensitive data.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations in register.php, particularly for the ruser_email parameter. Alternatively, apply vendor-supplied patch if available; until then, disable the registration functionality if possible.

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 Simple Shopping Cart installation and version
    Locate the Simple Shopping Cart installation directory and check for version files (such as version.php, README, or composer.json) to confirm the installed version is 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is Fabian Simple Shopping Cart 1.0
  2. Confirm register.php exists
    Check the web root or application directory for the presence of the register.php file
    Affected if register.php exists in the application directory
  3. Determine if registration is accessible
    Check application configuration files for settings that enable or disable user registration, or attempt to access the /register.php endpoint via HTTP request
    Affected if Registration functionality is enabled and the register.php page is accessible
  4. Inspect ruser_email parameter handling
    Open register.php and locate the code handling the ruser_email POST/GET parameter. Check if the value is directly concatenated into an SQL query or if it uses prepared statements/parameterized queries with binding
    Affected if The ruser_email parameter is used in an SQL query without parameterized binding (e.g., direct concatenation like $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$ruser_email'")

A user is affected if they are running Fabian Simple Shopping Cart version 1.0 with register.php present and registration enabled, where the ruser_email parameter is not handled via prepared statements in the SQL query.
