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
Beauty Parlour Management System v1.1 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability via the aptnumber parameter in the /appointment-detail.php endpoint. This vulnerability allows attackers to access sensitive database information via a crafted SQL statement.

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

SQL injection vulnerability in Beauty Parlour Management System v1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the unsanitized 'aptnumber' parameter in /appointment-detail.php. This enables extraction, modification, or deletion of sensitive database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) for the aptnumber parameter, apply input validation, and apply any vendor security patches.

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 version of Beauty Parlour Management System
    Locate the application root directory and look for version indicators such as a VERSION file, version comment in source code, or check the admin dashboard for version information. Compare against v1.1.
    Affected if The application is Beauty Parlour Management System version 1.1 exactly, or an unpatched version within the 1.x range.
  2. Verify appointment-detail.php exists
    Check for the presence of the file appointment-detail.php in the web application's accessible directories, typically in the root or a public-facing folder.
    Affected if The file /appointment-detail.php exists and is web-accessible.
  3. Inspect the aptnumber parameter handling
    Open appointment-detail.php and examine how the 'aptnumber' parameter is processed. Search for dynamic SQL query construction where user input from $_GET or $_POST['aptnumber'] is concatenated directly into SQL statements without using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The code shows direct string concatenation of the aptnumber parameter into SQL queries without input sanitization or parameter binding.
  4. Test the endpoint for SQL injection vulnerability
    If permitted by your security testing policy, send a crafted request such as /appointment-detail.php?aptnumber=1' OR '1'='1 to observe if the application returns unexpected database errors or altered behavior indicating SQL injection is possible.
    Affected if The application responds with SQL syntax errors, database error messages, or returns data that differs from expected behavior when special SQL characters are injected.

You are affected if you are running Beauty Parlour Management System v1.1 with the appointment-detail.php file accessible and the aptnumber parameter handled via unsanitized string concatenation in SQL queries.
