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 itsourcecode School Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /ramonsys/settings/controller.php. This manipulation of the argument ID causes sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack 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 · high confidence

A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in itsourcecode School Management System v1.0. The vulnerability is located in the ID parameter of the file /ramonsys/settings/controller.php, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical), successful exploitation could allow complete compromise of the database, including exfiltration of sensitive data or potential remote code execution depending on database configuration.

MitigationApply a patch from the vendor if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) in the affected controller.php file to properly sanitize the ID parameter before using it in SQL queries. Consider temporarily disabling the affected endpoint or deploying a WAF rule as a compensating control until the code fix is implemented.

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. Locate the itsourcecode School Management System installation
    Search the web root directory for the folder named 'ramonsys' or files containing 'school management system' branding
    Affected if The application is not installed on the system
  2. Confirm the application version is 1.0
    Check for a version file, about page, or changelog within the application directory that explicitly states version 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is not 1.0 (the vulnerability may still exist in other versions but this CVE specifically targets 1.0)
  3. Verify the vulnerable file exists
    Check for the presence of the file /ramonsys/settings/controller.php in the web document root
    Affected if The file /ramonsys/settings/controller.php does not exist
  4. Inspect the ID parameter handling in controller.php
    Open /ramonsys/settings/controller.php and search for code that uses the 'ID' or 'id' parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements or parameter binding
    Affected if The ID parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization

The system is affected if the itsourcecode School Management System version 1.0 is installed and the file /ramonsys/settings/controller.php contains direct SQL query construction using the ID parameter.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply a patch from the vendor if available; otherwise, implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) in the affected controller.php file to properly sanitize the ID parameter before using it in SQL queries. Consider temporarily disabling the affected endpoint or deploying a WAF rule as a compensating control until the code fix is implemented.
