CVE-2026-11509
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 identified in CodeAstro Leave Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php. Such manipulation of the argument Name leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote.
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 CodeAstro Leave Management System 1.0's /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php file. The 'Name' parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code.

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.
-
Identify if CodeAstro Leave Management System is installedCheck for the presence of the application in your web root directory, typically looking for directories or files containing 'leave_management' or 'CodeAstro'. Inspect your web server's document root for the application structure.Affected if The CodeAstro Leave Management System is present on the server
-
Verify the application versionLocate version information in the application, typically found in a readme.txt, version.php, or similar file in the root directory. Compare the version number to 1.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0
-
Confirm the vulnerable file existsCheck for the existence of /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php within the application directory structure. This file should be accessible via the web server.Affected if The file /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php exists in the web application
-
Check if the Name parameter is reachable without authenticationAttempt to access the URL path /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php directly without logging in. The CVE states the parameter is unauthenticated, meaning the endpoint should be accessible without session credentials.Affected if The endpoint is accessible without authentication and accepts a Name parameter
-
Inspect SQL query handling in the affected fileExamine the source code of search_staff_for_updation.php, specifically looking at how the Name parameter is used in SQL queries. Look for direct string concatenation or lack of prepared statements when building SQL queries with the Name input.Affected if The Name parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or proper input sanitization
If CodeAstro Leave Management System version 1.0 is installed and the /admin/search_staff_for_updation.php file exists with the Name parameter accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries and implement proper input validation on the Name parameter to prevent SQL injection attacks.
