CVE-2026-11530
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 imvks786 student_management_system up to 9599b560ad3c3b83e75d328b76bedcd489ef1f46. This affects an unknown function of the file /index.ph of the component Login. Such manipulation of the argument usr/pwd leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product implements a rolling release for ongoing delivery, which means version information for affected or updated releases is unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the login form (/index.php) of the imvks786 student_management_system allows attackers to manipulate the usr and pwd parameters to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially bypassing authentication or exfiltrating database contents.

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.
-
Confirm the affected software is presentLocate the imvks786 student_management_system application on the system. Search for directories containing 'student_management_system' or 'index.php' files that handle login functionality.Affected if The application is installed and the login form at /index.php exists with usr and pwd parameters.
-
Identify the login handling codeExamine the index.php file and any included files (such as db connection or auth modules) that process the usr and pwd parameters from the login form.Affected if The code processes login credentials through the usr and pwd parameters in index.php.
-
Check for unsafe SQL query constructionReview the SQL queries in the login handling code. Look for patterns where the usr or pwd variables are concatenated directly into SQL strings (e.g., 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=' + $usr) rather than using parameterized queries or prepared statements.Affected if The SQL queries construct statements by directly inserting user input without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization.
-
Inspect database error handlingCheck if the application displays detailed database errors or uses generic error messages. Attempt a test login with special SQL characters (like a single quote) in the usr or pwd fields to observe the application's response.Affected if The application returns database errors or exhibits unexpected behavior when SQL special characters are submitted, indicating unsanitized input is processed.
The environment is affected if the imvks786 student_management_system is installed and the index.php login code uses direct string concatenation in SQL queries with the usr and pwd parameters rather than prepared statements.

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 prepared statements/parameterized queries for all user-supplied input in login queries; validate and sanitize input; apply least-privilege database accounts; consider implementing WAF rules as temporary mitigation until code fix is deployed.
