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 SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /edit_product.php. This manipulation of the argument ID causes sql injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. 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 the ID parameter of /edit_product.php in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unsanitized input.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements to properly sanitize the ID parameter before executing any 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed application version
    Locate the SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System version by checking the application's main page, about section, or version file in the web root. Also check any README or changelog files included with the installation.
    Affected if Version is 1.0 (or if version cannot be determined but the application matches the affected release)
  2. Locate the vulnerable PHP file
    Find edit_product.php in the web application directory structure, typically under the main application root or an 'admin' or 'products' subdirectory.
    Affected if The file edit_product.php exists in the application installation
  3. Verify the vulnerable parameter handling
    Inspect the edit_product.php source code and locate where the ID parameter is received (from $_GET or $_POST) and used in database queries. Look for SQL query construction that includes the ID parameter without using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without sanitization, prepared statements, or parameterized queries
  4. Confirm database query is user-controllable
    Review the code to confirm the ID parameter comes from user input (GET/POST request) and is not hardcoded or restricted to predefined values. Check if the parameter flows directly from the request to the SQL query.
    Affected if The ID parameter is received from user input and passed directly to the SQL query without validation or sanitization

You are affected if you are running SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System version 1.0 and the edit_product.php file exists with the ID parameter being used directly in unsanitized SQL queries.
