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
SQL injection vulnerability in editpost.php in UBB.threads 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Number parameter.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in UBB.threads 6.0's editpost.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Number parameter. This occurs because user input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of UBB.threads if available, or implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for the Number parameter in editpost.php to prevent SQL injection.

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. Confirm UBB.threads version
    Locate the version file or admin panel that displays the installed UBB.threads version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.0
  2. Verify editpost.php exists
    Check for the presence of editpost.php in the web application's scripts directory, typically in the main UBB.threads installation path
    Affected if editpost.php exists and is accessible via the web server
  3. Inspect Number parameter handling in editpost.php
    Examine the editpost.php source code to see how the Number parameter is used in SQL queries - look for whether the input is sanitized or if prepared statements/parameterized queries are used
    Affected if The Number parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries

A system is affected if it runs UBB.threads version 6.0 with editpost.php present and the Number parameter lacks proper SQL injection protection in the code.

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.
