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 weakness has been identified in itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /sms/login.php. This manipulation of the argument user_email causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

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 itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0's login.php file. The user_email parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code. The public availability of the exploit increases risk of automated attacks.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations in login.php, particularly for the user_email parameter. Apply input validation and escaping as defense-in-depth. Deploy a WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts until the patch is applied.

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. Locate the itsourcecode Online Enrollment System installation
    Search the server for the 'login.php' file commonly found in the web root directory under the enrollment system folder. Common paths include /var/www/html/enrollment/, /www/enrollment/, or search for 'login.php' containing 'user_email' form field.
    Affected if The application is found and the login.php file exists in a web-accessible directory
  2. Confirm the application version is 1.0
    Check for a version file, readme, or footer in the application that displays the version number. Alternatively, compare the login.php file against the known vulnerable version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or cannot be determined (assume affected)
  3. Inspect login.php for unsanitized user_email parameter usage
    Open login.php and search for the user_email parameter. Look for direct inclusion in SQL queries without prepared statements, parameterized queries, or escaping functions (like mysqli_real_escape_string, addslashes).
    Affected if The user_email parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or prepared statements
  4. Determine if the database module is in use
    Check if the application connects to a MySQL/MariaDB database and uses the user_email field in authentication queries. Verify the login.php performs database lookups.
    Affected if The login.php performs database authentication using the user_email parameter
  5. Verify the login.php is publicly accessible
    Confirm the web server configuration allows HTTP/HTTPS access to the login.php endpoint. Check if the system is exposed to the internet or internal networks.
    Affected if The login.php is accessible from the network where potential attackers could reach it

A user is affected if the itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0 is installed with its login.php accessible and the user_email parameter is used directly in SQL queries without prepared statements or sanitization.

Mitigation

Implement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations in login.php, particularly for the user_email parameter. Apply input validation and escaping as defense-in-depth. Deploy a WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts until the patch is applied.
