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
SQL Injection vulnerability in Apartment Visitors Management System Apartment Visitors Management System V1.1 within the username parameter of the login page (index.php). This allows an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate backend SQL queries during authentication and retrieve sensitive database contents.

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

Unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the username parameter of the login page (index.php) of Apartment Visitors Management System V1.1. An attacker can manipulate backend SQL queries during authentication by injecting malicious SQL syntax through the username field, potentially bypassing authentication and exfiltrating sensitive database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL query construction with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the login authentication logic. Apply input validation and ensure the database user follows least privilege principles. Deploy the vendor patch upon release.

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 application software
    Check your web server for the presence of Apartment Visitors Management System by examining the application files, banner, or source code (look for 'Apartment Visitors Management System' or 'AVMS' branding in HTML source, headers, or file metadata)
    Affected if The application is not Apartment Visitors Management System or the branding is missing
  2. Confirm the installed version
    Locate the version identifier in the application - check version.php, README.txt, or the footer/header of index.php for 'V1.1' or similar version marking
    Affected if The version is V1.1 (exact match to the vulnerable version)
  3. Verify the login page is accessible
    Attempt to access index.php via HTTP/HTTPS to confirm the login page is exposed. Check if the username input field exists on the page
    Affected if index.php is reachable and contains a username input field for authentication
  4. Examine authentication code for dynamic SQL
    Inspect the server-side code in index.php (or included auth files) for the login authentication logic. Look for SQL queries built by concatenating or interpolating the username parameter directly into the query string (e.g., 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ' + $username)
    Affected if The code constructs SQL queries using string concatenation/interpolation with the username parameter rather than parameterized queries
  5. Test username parameter for SQL injection response
    Send a crafted username value like admin' (with a trailing single quote) to index.php and observe the application response - look for SQL syntax errors, unusual database messages, or different behavior compared to a normal username
    Affected if The application returns SQL error messages or behaves differently when special SQL characters are injected into the username field

You are affected if the application is Apartment Visitors Management System V1.1, the login page is exposed, and the authentication code uses dynamic SQL construction with the username parameter without prepared statements.
