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 Remote Code Execution vulnerability was found in CODEASTRO Membership Management System v1.0 in /add_members.php. This vulnerability affects the file upload functionality, where improper file sanitization allows attackers to inject malicious files which leads RCE.

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

The CODEASTRO Membership Management System v1.0 contains an RCE vulnerability in /add_members.php where the file upload functionality lacks proper sanitization, allowing attackers to upload malicious files that can be executed on the server.

MitigationImplement strict file type validation using an allowlist, verify file MIME type and extension server-side, rename uploaded files, store uploads outside the webroot, and disable script execution in upload directories.

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 the installed version of CODEASTRO Membership Management System
    Check your application files or administrative interface for the version number. Compare it to v1.0 as listed in the affected versions.
    Affected if The installed version is v1.0 of CODEASTRO Membership Management System
  2. Verify the add_members.php endpoint exists
    Locate and inspect the /add_members.php file in your web application directory. Confirm the file is present on the server.
    Affected if The file /add_members.php exists in the application webroot or is accessible via the web server
  3. Confirm file upload functionality is enabled
    Access the add_members.php page through the web interface and verify if a file upload form or input field is present and functional.
    Affected if File upload capability is present and enabled on the add_members.php page
  4. Check upload directory configuration
    Examine the web server and application configuration to locate where uploaded files are stored. Verify if the upload directory is accessible via the web server.
    Affected if Uploaded files are stored in a directory that is web-accessible and allows script execution
  5. Inspect file validation in add_members.php
    Review the source code of add_members.php to determine if file type validation uses an allowlist approach and performs server-side MIME type verification.
    Affected if The code lacks proper file type validation or uses only client-side/blacklist-based validation

Your environment is affected if you are running CODEASTRO Membership Management System v1.0 with the add_members.php file upload feature accessible and configured without strict server-side file validation and with script execution enabled in the upload directory.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
