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 in the contactno parameter of the forgot password page (forgot-password.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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the Apartment Visitors Management System V1.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL through the contactno parameter in forgot-password.php, enabling manipulation of backend queries to exfiltrate sensitive database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in forgot-password.php, implement strict input validation on the contactno parameter, and ensure the database account uses least privilege.

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 Apartment Visitors Management System
    Locate the application files and check for a version indicator in the source code, changelog, or configuration files. Common locations include a 'version' file, the main index.php header comment, or a 'config.php' file.
    Affected if The installed version is V1.1 or another version that includes the vulnerable forgot-password.php component.
  2. Verify forgot-password.php is web-accessible
    Attempt to access the forgot-password.php page via HTTP/HTTPS request (e.g., GET /forgot-password.php) to confirm the file exists and is reachable in the deployed environment.
    Affected if The file returns a valid HTTP response, indicating the vulnerable page is accessible.
  3. Inspect the contactno parameter handling in forgot-password.php
    Open forgot-password.php and locate the code that handles the 'contactno' parameter from POST or GET requests. Search for SQL queries that use this parameter directly without sanitization or prepared statements.
    Affected if The source code shows the contactno parameter being used directly in an SQL query (e.g., SELECT * FROM users WHERE contactno='$contactno') without escaping, parameterization, or input validation.
  4. Test for SQL injection with a benign payload
    Submit a crafted contactno parameter value such as '1' OR '1'='1 to the forgot-password.php form and observe the application's response. If the application returns different behavior than expected (e.g., error messages, unexpected data), the parameter may be vulnerable.
    Affected if The application exhibits unexpected behavior or returns database errors indicating SQL syntax is being interpreted.

A user is affected if they are running Apartment Visitors Management System V1.1 with the forgot-password.php page accessible and the contactno parameter used in unsanitized SQL queries.
