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 vulnerability has been found in code-projects Student Web Portal 1.0. This impacts the function valreg_passwdation of the file signup.php. The manipulation of the argument reg_passwd leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public 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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the valreg_passwdation function of signup.php in Student Web Portal 1.0. The reg_passwd parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the signup form.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in the valreg_passwdation function, implement proper input validation for the reg_passwd parameter, and apply principle of least privilege to database accounts.

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 Student Web Portal 1.0 installation
    Locate the web application's installation directory and check for the presence of signup.php or other application files. Look for version indicators in source code comments, readme files, or meta tags.
    Affected if The application directory contains signup.php and is identified as Carmelo Student Web Portal version 1.0
  2. Locate vulnerable signup.php file
    Navigate to the web root directory and identify the signup.php file. Verify the file contains the valreg_passwdation function by searching for 'function valreg_passwdation' within the file.
    Affected if The file signup.php exists and contains a function named valreg_passwdation
  3. Inspect reg_passwd parameter handling
    Open signup.php and locate the valreg_passwdation function. Examine how the reg_passwd parameter is handled - look for direct concatenation of this parameter into SQL queries without sanitization or use of prepared statements.
    Affected if The reg_passwd parameter is used in SQL queries without parameterized queries, prepared statements, or proper escaping/sanitization
  4. Verify signup form is accessible
    Check if the signup form endpoint is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS. Common paths include /signup.php or /register.php. Attempt to access the form or review configuration to confirm it is enabled.
    Affected if The signup form is accessible and accepts user input for the reg_passwd parameter

If Student Web Portal 1.0 is installed with an accessible signup.php containing the valreg_passwdation function that uses the reg_passwd parameter directly in SQL queries, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
