CVE-2005-3822
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 · uneditedMultiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in vTiger CRM 4.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) username in the login form or (2) record parameter, as demonstrated in the EditView action for the Contacts module.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerabilities in vTiger CRM 4.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unsanitized user input in the login form username field and the record parameter in the Contacts module EditView action.

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.
-
Identify vTiger CRM versionLocate the version information in the application installation directory, typically found in a version file or within the admin control panel under system information or about sectionAffected if The installed version is vTiger CRM 4.2 or any earlier version (4.0, 4.1, etc.)
-
Confirm login form is accessibleAccess the web interface login page of the vTiger CRM installation and verify the username input field is present and functionalAffected if The login form with the username field is exposed and operational on the network
-
Verify Contacts module is presentLog into the vTiger CRM application and navigate to the Contacts module, or attempt to access the EditView action for Contacts via URLAffected if The Contacts module and its EditView functionality are enabled and accessible within the application
-
Check for exposure to networkDetermine if the vTiger CRM web interface is reachable from untrusted networks or the internet by reviewing firewall rules or network configurationAffected if The vulnerable login form and Contacts module are reachable from external or untrusted networks
The environment is affected if vTiger CRM version 4.2 or earlier is installed and the login form and Contacts module EditView are accessible to the attacker.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version of vTiger CRM; if no upgrade is available, implement parameterized queries or proper input sanitization for the identified injection points in the login and Contacts module.
