Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2021-47846 is a SQL injection flaw in Digital Crime Report Management System 1.0. An unauthenticated attacker may bypass authentication on multiple login pages. For organizations using this application, the main business risk is unauthorized access to a crime-reporting system and potential exposure or manipulation of sensitive records.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority if the application is in use, especially if exposed to the internet. The flaw affects login controls and has public exploit information. If the product is not deployed, no direct exposure is indicated by the sources.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-89 SQL injection in email and password parameters across police, incharge, user, and HQ login endpoints. The CVE record rates it CVSS 4.0 8.8 high, network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. Public exploit information is referenced by ExploitDB, but KEV status is false.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to deployments of I Want Source Codes Digital Crime Report Management System version 1.0, especially internet-facing instances. The sources do not identify other affected versions or products.
Exploitation context
The vulnerability can be abused remotely without authentication to bypass login. A public ExploitDB reference exists, increasing practical risk. The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation.
Researcher notes
Evidence comes from the CVE record, VulnCheck advisory, vendor product page, and ExploitDB reference. The bundle does not provide a vendor patch version, workaround, or active exploitation confirmation. Avoid assuming broader product impact beyond version 1.0.
Mitigation direction
- Identify whether Digital Crime Report Management System 1.0 is deployed.
- Check vendor or maintainer guidance for an official fix or replacement.
- Restrict public access to affected login pages where operationally possible.
- Place the application behind authentication, VPN, or trusted network controls.
- Review application code for SQL injection and implement parameterized database queries.
Validation and detection
- Inventory web applications for this product and version.
- Confirm whether police, incharge, user, or HQ login endpoints are present.
- Review access logs for unusual login activity and repeated failed authentication patterns.
- Have developers review email and password database handling for unsafe SQL construction.
- Verify any compensating access controls are enforced from untrusted networks.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
