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 flaw has been discovered in CodeAstro Online Classroom 1.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /askquery.php. The manipulation of the argument squeryx results in sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.

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 CodeAstro Online Classroom 1.0's askquery.php file allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'squeryx' parameter, potentially enabling unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or data manipulation.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for the squeryx parameter in askquery.php and add input validation to sanitize user-supplied values before database execution.

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 installed version of CodeAstro Online Classroom
    Check your application files or software inventory for the exact version number. Compare it to version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is CodeAstro Online Classroom 1.0 and the askquery.php file exists in the codebase.
  2. Locate the askquery.php file
    Search the web root directory for the askquery.php script. Common paths may include /admin/askquery.php, /user/askquery.php, or similar directories.
    Affected if The file askquery.php exists in the application directory structure.
  3. Verify the squeryx parameter is handled by askquery.php
    Open askquery.php and search for occurrences of 'squeryx' in the code to confirm the parameter is processed.
    Affected if The squeryx parameter is present in the askquery.php script and accepted as user input.
  4. Check if the squeryx parameter is used directly in SQL queries without protection
    Examine the askquery.php source code around the squeryx parameter usage. Look for SQL query construction where squeryx is concatenated or inserted directly into the query string without prepared statements, parameter binding, or escaping functions.
    Affected if The squeryx parameter is used in raw SQL queries without parameterized binding, prepared statements, or input sanitization.

A defender is affected if they run CodeAstro Online Classroom version 1.0 with the askquery.php file present and the squeryx parameter is handled without SQL injection protections such as prepared statements or parameterized queries.
