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 flaw has been found in code-projects Visitor Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /vms/php/phone_0.php. This manipulation of the argument phone causes sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published 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 code-projects Visitor Management System 1.0's /vms/php/phone_0.php file. The 'phone' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in phone_0.php. Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using them in database queries.

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 Visitor Management System installation
    Search the web server for files or directories named 'vms' or 'visitor management system'. Check for the presence of the /vms/php/ directory structure.
    Affected if The Visitor Management System 1.0 application is installed on the server.
  2. Locate the vulnerable phone_0.php file
    Search for the file /vms/php/phone_0.php in the web root directory. This is the specific file containing the SQL injection vulnerability.
    Affected if The file /vms/php/phone_0.php exists on the system.
  3. Inspect the phone_0.php code for unsanitized SQL
    Open phone_0.php and examine how the 'phone' parameter is handled. Look for SQL queries that incorporate the phone parameter directly without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization functions.
    Affected if The code contains dynamic SQL queries using the phone parameter without prepared statements or input validation.
  4. Verify the phone parameter is exposed
    Access the phone_0.php endpoint via HTTP GET or POST and confirm the 'phone' parameter is accepted. The vulnerability is exploitable when user-supplied phone input reaches the database query.
    Affected if The phone parameter is accepted and processed by phone_0.php without sanitization.
  5. Check for SQL injection evidence
    Submit a test payload such as ' OR '1'='1 in the phone parameter and observe database behavior or error messages. Review database query logs for unexpected SQL syntax.
    Affected if The application returns database errors or executes SQL commands based on injected input.

The system is affected if Visitor Management System 1.0 is installed and the /vms/php/phone_0.php file exists with the phone parameter handling vulnerable to SQL injection.
