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 SourceCodester E-Commerce Site 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code through the search parameter in /products.php. User-supplied input is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in the search functionality, implement proper input validation, and apply the principle of least privilege to the database user.

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
    Locate and examine the web application. Check the application name, footer, or source files for 'SourceCodester E-Commerce Site' branding or identify the products.php file in the web root.
    Affected if The application is SourceCodester E-Commerce Site with products.php present in the web directory.
  2. Verify the vulnerable file exists
    Confirm that /products.php exists and is accessible on the web server. This file typically handles product listing and search functionality.
    Affected if The file products.php exists and is reachable via HTTP/HTTPS.
  3. Confirm search functionality is enabled
    Access the products.php page and verify the search parameter is functional. Look for a search input field on the page or test by accessing products.php?search=test
    Affected if The search feature is active and accepts user input through the search parameter.
  4. Examine the code for SQL injection vulnerability
    Open products.php and inspect the code handling the search parameter. Look for SQL queries that directly incorporate the search parameter without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitization.
    Affected if The search parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries.
  5. Test for SQL injection susceptibility
    If authorized and in an authorized testing environment, submit SQL metacharacters in the search parameter (such as ' OR '1'='1) and observe if the application returns database errors or behaves unexpectedly.
    Affected if The application responds with SQL errors or unexpected behavior when special SQL characters are submitted in the search parameter.

You are affected if you are running SourceCodester E-Commerce Site version 1.0 with the products.php search functionality accessible and the search parameter is handled without parameterized queries.
