CVE-2026-7506
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 vulnerability has been found in SourceCodester Hotel Management System 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /index.php/reservation/check. Such manipulation of the argument room_type leads to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public 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 · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Hotel Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the room_type parameter in the /index.php/reservation/check endpoint. The lack of parameterized queries or proper input sanitization enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

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.
-
Locate the Hotel Management System installationSearch for 'index.php' files and check if the application is a hotel reservation system. Look for files containing 'hotel', 'reservation', or 'management' in the web root directory.Affected if The application is SourceCodester Hotel Management System installed on the server.
-
Identify the installed versionCheck version information in the application - look for a 'version' file, README, or footer of the main page. Compare against version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or earlier.
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the file /index.php/reservation/check exists in the web root. Look for a 'reservation' directory or controller that handles the /reservation/check route.Affected if The /index.php/reservation/check endpoint is present in the installation.
-
Inspect the room_type parameter handlingOpen the reservation controller or the check action file. Search for the 'room_type' parameter and examine how it is used in database queries. Look for direct string concatenation or lack of prepared statements.Affected if The code uses the room_type parameter in a SQL query without parameterized queries or input sanitization.
The environment is affected if SourceCodester Hotel Management System version 1.0 or earlier is installed with the /reservation/check endpoint and the room_type parameter is handled without prepared statements.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries for the room_type parameter, implement proper input validation, and apply output encoding. As an interim measure, consider deploying a WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts.
