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 detected in itsourcecode Apartment Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /setting/employee_salary_setup.php. The manipulation of the argument ddlEmpName results in sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is now 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 itsourcecode Apartment Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ddlEmpName parameter in /setting/employee_salary_setup.php. The application fails to sanitize user input before using it in SQL queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) in employee_salary_setup.php. Alternatively, implement input validation and use a web application firewall as a temporary mitigation until code fix is complete.

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 Apartment Management System installation
    Locate the web application directory or identify the running service. Check for files or directories containing 'apartment', 'ams', or similar naming conventions associated with the itsourcecode/Admerc Apartment Management System.
    Affected if The system has the Apartment Management System 1.0 installed and accessible.
  2. Verify the exact version number
    Check version information in the application (typically in an about page, footer, readme file, or configuration file). Compare against the affected version: 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 (Admerc Apartment Management System = 1.0).
  3. Locate the vulnerable script file
    Check if the file /setting/employee_salary_setup.php exists in the webroot. This is the path mentioned in the CVE as containing the SQL injection vulnerability.
    Affected if The file /setting/employee_salary_setup.php exists and is accessible via the web server.
  4. Verify the ddlEmpName parameter is in use
    Access the employee salary setup page (typically via the web interface) and inspect the form to confirm the ddlEmpName dropdown parameter exists. This is the injection point for the SQL flaw.
    Affected if The employee salary setup page loads and contains a form with the ddlEmpName parameter.
  5. Check web server logs for SQL injection attempts
    Review access logs (Apache/nginx) for requests to /setting/employee_salary_setup.php containing SQL syntax in the ddlEmpName parameter, such as quotes, UNION, OR 1=1, or sleep() functions.
    Affected if Requests with malicious SQL syntax in the ddlEmpName parameter are found in logs, indicating active exploitation attempts.

You are affected if the Admerc Apartment Management System version 1.0 is installed and the /setting/employee_salary_setup.php file with the ddlEmpName parameter is accessible and exposed to user input.
