CVE-2026-5256
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 · uneditedA flaw has been found in code-projects Simple Laundry System 1.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /modify.php of the component Parameter Handler. This manipulation of the argument firstName causes sql injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been published 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 confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in Simple Laundry System 1.0 in the /modify.php file. The firstName parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Simple Laundry System installationLocate the Simple Laundry System web application files on your server. Check your web document root for a laundry management system or similar directory.Affected if The application is present on the server
-
Verify the application versionCheck the application for version information. Look in files like README, about.php, or configuration files that may display or contain the version number. Compare against version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0
-
Locate the modify.php fileSearch for the file modify.php within the application directory structure. This file is reported to be in the web-accessible path.Affected if The modify.php file exists in the application
-
Check if the firstName parameter is processedExamine the modify.php file source code to confirm it accepts and processes a firstName parameter from user input (via GET or POST request).Affected if The file processes a firstName parameter from user input
-
Verify lack of parameterized queriesReview the modify.php code around the firstName parameter usage. Look for direct string concatenation in SQL queries versus prepared statements/parameter binding.Affected if The firstName parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization
You are affected if Simple Laundry System version 1.0 is installed, the modify.php file exists, and it processes a firstName parameter in SQL queries without parameterized queries.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all user-supplied input in the modify.php file, particularly the firstName parameter, to prevent SQL injection attacks.
