Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Users should apply strict input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL Injection attacks. Monitor vendor advisories for updates regarding official fixes.

Description

Online Shopping Portal Project version 3.1 contains a SQL Injection vulnerability in its login form. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by exploiting insufficient input validation in the username field. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access and potential manipulation of the underlying database.

Impact

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely, potentially bypassing authentication controls and gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. This may also allow modification or deletion of data within the affected database, compromising data integrity and confidentiality.

Summary

CVE-2023-38890 describes a SQL Injection vulnerability in Online Shopping Portal Project 3.1. The vulnerability arises from inadequate validation of user input in the username field of the login form, enabling attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL queries remotely. This can result in unauthorized access to the system and possible data manipulation.
