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 SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /ajax.php?action=save_type. Such manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. 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 SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 where the ID parameter in /ajax.php?action=save_type is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the ID parameter in ajax.php, and implement proper input validation across all user-controlled parameters.

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 the application is installed
    Check if SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System files exist on the server. Look for the presence of ajax.php in the web root directory.
    Affected if The application files are present and accessible via web browser.
  2. Verify the application version
    Check the source code or any version file in the application root for the version number. The affected version is 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.
  3. Locate the vulnerable endpoint
    Examine the ajax.php file in the web root. Look for the save_type case/condition that handles the action parameter.
    Affected if ajax.php exists and contains a save_type action handler.
  4. Check if the ID parameter is processed unsafely
    In ajax.php, locate the code handling the ID parameter within the save_type action. Look for direct insertion of the ID parameter into SQL queries without using prepared statements or parameter binding.
    Affected if The ID parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization.
  5. Verify network accessibility of the vulnerable URL
    Attempt to access /ajax.php?action=save_type via HTTP/HTTPS to confirm the endpoint is reachable.
    Affected if The endpoint responds and accepts the ID parameter in the request.

The system is affected if SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System version 1.0 is installed and the ajax.php file processes the ID parameter from the save_type action without parameterized queries.
