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 determined in code-projects Job Diary 1.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /edit-details.php. The manipulation of the argument ID 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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the ID parameter of /edit-details.php in code-projects Job Diary 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands. The lack of parameterized queries or input sanitization on the ID argument enables authenticated attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries in edit-details.php with prepared statements/parameterized queries and implement proper input validation on the ID parameter. 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. Confirm Job Diary installation
    Locate the Job Diary application on your system. Check for files or directories containing 'job-diary', 'jobdiary', or similar naming.
    Affected if The application code-projects Job Diary or Anisha Job Diary is present on the system
  2. Verify the version is 1.0
    Check the application version metadata (such as a version file, composer.json, or README) to confirm the installed version is 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
  3. Locate edit-details.php
    Search for the file edit-details.php within the Job Diary application directory structure
    Affected if The file edit-details.php exists in the application
  4. Inspect ID parameter handling in edit-details.php
    Open edit-details.php and examine how the ID parameter is used in SQL queries. Search for direct insertion of $_GET['id'] or $_POST['id'] into SQL statements without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization functions like mysqli_real_escape_string or PDO::prepare.
    Affected if The ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries, binding, or escaping functions
  5. Verify authentication is enabled
    Check if the application requires authentication to access edit-details.php. Look for session checks, login validation, or authentication middleware at the top of the file.
    Affected if Authentication is not enforced or can be bypassed for the edit-details.php endpoint

If the installed version is Job Diary 1.0 and edit-details.php contains SQL queries that use the ID parameter without prepared statements or input sanitization, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-8923.
