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 security vulnerability has been detected in Alixhan xh-admin-backend up to 1.7.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /frontend-api/system-service/api/system/role/query of the component Database Query Handler. Such manipulation of the argument prop leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 Alixhan xh-admin-backend (versions up to 1.7.0) in the role query endpoint at /frontend-api/system-service/api/system/role/query. The 'prop' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the Database Query Handler component.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or proper input validation/sanitization on the 'prop' parameter; temporarily disable the affected endpoint until a vendor patch is available.

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. Confirm Alixhan xh-admin-backend is installed
    Identify the application by examining deployed artifacts, service names, or process listings that indicate xh-admin-backend is present in the environment
    Affected if The application is Alixhan xh-admin-backend
  2. Determine installed version
    Check version information from application metadata, build files, startup logs, or any version configuration (compare against the affected range of version 1.7.0 and below)
    Affected if Version is 1.7.0 or lower
  3. Verify the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Confirm that the route /frontend-api/system-service/api/system/role/query is exposed in the deployed application
    Affected if The role query endpoint is accessible
  4. Inspect 'prop' parameter handling
    Review the code or configuration handling the 'prop' parameter at the role query endpoint to determine whether input validation, parameterized queries, or SQL sanitization is implemented
    Affected if The 'prop' parameter accepts raw user input without sanitization or uses string concatenation in SQL queries

You are affected if you are running Alixhan xh-admin-backend version 1.7.0 or lower with the /frontend-api/system-service/api/system/role/query endpoint exposed and the 'prop' parameter lacks proper input validation or parameterized queries.

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.
