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 security vulnerability has been detected in itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /enrollment/index.php?view=add. Such manipulation of the argument txtsearch/deptname/name leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly 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 itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the txtsearch/deptname/name parameters at /enrollment/index.php?view=add endpoint due to lack of input sanitization.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations using user input. Apply strict input validation and sanitization to txtsearch, deptname, and name parameters as an immediate control, and deploy a WAF as a temporary defensive layer.

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 itsourcecode Online Enrollment System installation
    Locate the application root directory and check for the presence of enrollment/index.php file. Verify the application is this specific product by checking application banners or admin interfaces.
    Affected if The application directory contains enrollment/index.php and identifies as itsourcecode Online Enrollment System version 1.0
  2. Verify vulnerable endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access or enumerate the endpoint /enrollment/index.php?view=add to confirm it exists and responds in the application.
    Affected if The endpoint /enrollment/index.php?view=add is accessible and returns a valid response
  3. Identify affected parameter exposure
    Review HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint and identify if parameters txtsearch, deptname, or name are accepted as user input.
    Affected if One or more of the parameters txtsearch, deptname, or name are accepted as user input without validation
  4. Check input sanitization implementation
    Inspect the source code of enrollment/index.php around the view=add handler. Look for database query construction that uses these parameters directly without parameterized queries, prepared statements, or input sanitization functions.
    Affected if The code handling txtsearch, deptname, or name parameters uses direct string concatenation in SQL queries without sanitization or parameter binding
  5. Confirm database layer vulnerability
    If code inspection is not possible, test the parameters with SQL injection payloads (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) and observe for SQL error messages or unexpected behavior indicating unsanitized input reaches the database.
    Affected if SQL injection payloads in the affected parameters produce database errors or alter application behavior, confirming unsanitized input reaches the database

A user is affected if they run itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0 with the /enrollment/index.php?view=add endpoint accessible and the txtsearch, deptname, or name parameters accept user input without parameterized queries or sanitization.

Mitigation

Implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations using user input. Apply strict input validation and sanitization to txtsearch, deptname, and name parameters as an immediate control, and deploy a WAF as a temporary defensive layer.
