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 1000projects Online Project Report Submission and Evaluation System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /admin/controller/delete_group_student.php. The manipulation of the argument batch_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 · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the batch_id parameter of /admin/controller/delete_group_student.php in the 1000projects Online Project Report Submission and Evaluation System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially enabling data exfiltration, unauthorized administrative access, or complete database compromise.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements and implement strict input validation on the batch_id parameter. Restrict admin panel access to authenticated, authorized users and apply the principle of least privilege.

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 the installed product version
    Locate and inspect the version file or header in the 1000projects system (commonly in version.php, about.php, or the main index page). Compare the version number to 1.0.
    Affected if The system is running version 1.0 of the 1000projects Online Project Report Submission and Evaluation System.
  2. Confirm the vulnerable file exists
    Check if the file /admin/controller/delete_group_student.php exists in the web root directory of the application.
    Affected if The file delete_group_student.php is present in the /admin/controller/ directory.
  3. Check admin panel accessibility
    Attempt to access the /admin/ directory or the vulnerable script directly without authentication to determine if authentication is enforced.
    Affected if The admin panel or the delete_group_student.php script is accessible without valid authentication.
  4. Inspect the batch_id parameter handling
    Examine the source code of delete_group_student.php and look for SQL queries that directly incorporate the batch_id parameter without using prepared statements or parameter binding.
    Affected if The batch_id parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries, prepared statements, or input sanitization.
  5. Test for SQL injection vulnerability
    Send a crafted request to /admin/controller/delete_group_student.php with a malicious payload in the batch_id parameter (e.g., batch_id=1' OR '1'='1) and observe the database response or error messages.
    Affected if The application returns database errors, unexpected data, or exhibits behavior indicating unsanitized input is being executed as SQL.

A user is affected if they are running version 1.0 of the 1000projects Online Project Report Submission and Evaluation System with the vulnerable delete_group_student.php file accessible and the batch_id parameter handled without parameterized queries.
