CVE-2026-11490
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 · uneditedA vulnerability was determined in code-projects Online Music Site 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /Frontend/Search.php. This manipulation of the argument Category causes sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the Online Music Site 1.0 application allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'Category' parameter in /Frontend/Search.php. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in database queries, enabling attackers to manipulate database operations.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the vulnerable Search.php fileVerify the existence of /Frontend/Search.php in the web application root directoryAffected if The file /Frontend/Search.php exists in the deployed application
-
Confirm Online Music Site versionCheck the application version from source files, typically found in a README, version file, or the main index page footerAffected if The installed version is Online Music Site 1.0
-
Inspect Search.php for Category parameter handlingOpen /Frontend/Search.php and search for code handling the 'Category' parameter, looking for direct use in SQL queries without sanitizationAffected if The code contains SQL queries using the Category parameter without prepared statements or input validation
-
Verify the Category parameter is accessibleTest accessing the Search.php endpoint with a test Category parameter value via HTTP GET request to determine if user input is acceptedAffected if The Category parameter accepts user input and passes it directly to SQL queries
-
Check for SQL injection protectionReview Search.php for use of parameterized queries, prepared statements, or input sanitization functions around the Category parameterAffected if No parameterized queries or input validation is found for the Category parameter
The system is affected if Online Music Site 1.0 is installed, the /Frontend/Search.php file exists, and the Category parameter handling lacks prepared statements or input validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations involving the Category parameter, or use a proper input validation/sanitization layer. Until the fix is deployed, consider disabling the search functionality or implementing web application firewall rules.
