CVE-2026-9447
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 was found in SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System 1.0. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /user/search.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument Name results in sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could 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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System 1.0 at /user/search.php. The Name parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious 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 the application identityInspect the application web pages, footer, or any version information to confirm it is SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory SystemAffected if The application is not SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System, then this CVE does not apply
-
Verify the installed versionCheck for version information in the application (typically in an about page, footer, or configuration file) and compare to version 1.0Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or falls within the affected range for this product
-
Locate the vulnerable scriptCheck if the file /user/search.php exists in the web application directoryAffected if The file /user/search.php does not exist, the vulnerability is not present in this environment
-
Inspect the search.php source codeOpen /user/search.php and examine how the Name parameter is handled in SQL queries - look for direct concatenation of user input into SQL strings without sanitization or parameterizationAffected if The code shows the Name parameter is used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization, prepared statements, or parameter binding
-
Check similar files for the same patternSearch the application codebase for other PHP files that handle user input in SQL queries, particularly in search or filter functionality, using the same vulnerable patternAffected if Other files exhibit the same unsanitized SQL input pattern, indicating widespread vulnerability
You are affected if you are running SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System version 1.0 (or an affected version) and the /user/search.php file contains unsanitized user input in SQL 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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) in search.php, or implement proper input validation and escaping. Review other files in the application for similar SQL injection vulnerabilities.
