CVE-2026-36232
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 SQL injection vulnerability was found in the instructorClasses.php file of itsourcecode Online Student Enrollment System v1.0. The reason for this issue is that the 'classId' parameter from $_GET['classId'] is directly concatenated into the SQL query without any sanitization or validation.

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 the installed version of the enrollment systemLocate the application files or check the application banner/footer for version information. Compare against version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is Itsourcecode Online Student Enrollment System version 1.0.
-
Locate the instructorClasses.php fileSearch the web root directory for the file instructorClasses.php, typically found in admin or instructor-related directories.Affected if The file instructorClasses.php exists in the application web directory.
-
Inspect the SQL query construction in instructorClasses.phpOpen instructorClasses.php and search for SQL query strings that include the 'classId' parameter via $_GET. Look for patterns where $_GET['classId'] is directly concatenated into a query string without using prepared statements or parameter binding.Affected if The code shows direct concatenation of the classId GET parameter into an SQL query string.
-
Verify the classId parameter is received via GET requestCheck if the file uses $_GET['classId'] or $_REQUEST['classId'] to capture the parameter without sanitization functions such as mysqli_real_escape_string, htmlspecialchars, or parameter validation logic.Affected if The classId parameter is retrieved via GET and passed directly to the SQL query without sanitization.
-
Test for SQL injection vulnerability (passive observation)Send a request to instructorClasses.php with a modified classId parameter (e.g., classId=1' OR '1'='1) and observe if the application returns database errors or unusual behavior. Use only safe, read-only test values that do not modify data.Affected if The application returns SQL syntax errors or unexpected database results when special characters are submitted in the classId parameter.
Your environment is affected if you are running Itsourcecode Online Student Enrollment System v1.0 and the instructorClasses.php file contains direct SQL concatenation with the unsanitized classId GET parameter.

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 direct SQL concatenation with prepared statements/parameterized queries and implement proper input validation for the classId parameter before use in any SQL query.
