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
Multiple "potential" SQL injection vulnerabilities in myBloggie 2.1.3 beta might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the category parameter in add.php, (2) the cat_desc parameter in addcat.php, (3) the level and user parameters in adduser.php, (4) the post_id parameter in del.php, (5) the cat_id parameter in delcat.php, (6) the comment_id parameter in delcomment.php, (7) the id parameter in deluser.php, (8) the post_id and category parameter in edit.php, (9) the cat_id and cat_desc parameters in editcat.php, and (10) the id, level, and user parameters in edituser.php. NOTE: the username/login.php vector is already identified by CVE-2005-2838.

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

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in myBloggie 2.1.3 beta allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through untrusted input in 10 different PHP files (add.php, addcat.php, adduser.php, del.php, delcat.php, delcomment.php, deluser.php, edit.php, editcat.php, edituser.php) via parameters including category, cat_desc, level, user, post_id, cat_id, comment_id, and id without proper input sanitization or parameterized queries.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of myBloggie; if unavailable, implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all user-supplied input in the affected files and validate/sanitize all parameters before database execution.

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 myBloggie installation and version
    Locate the myBloggie installation and identify the version number, typically found in a version file, readme, or the main index.php file. Compare this version to 2.1.3_beta.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.1.3_beta.
  2. Identify presence of vulnerable PHP files
    Check the web server document root for the existence of the affected PHP files: add.php, addcat.php, adduser.php, del.php, delcat.php, delcomment.php, deluser.php, edit.php, editcat.php, and edituser.php.
    Affected if Any of these 10 PHP files are present in the myBloggie installation.
  3. Examine code for untrusted input handling
    Open each affected PHP file in a text editor and inspect how the following parameters are handled: category, cat_desc, level, user, post_id, cat_id, comment_id, and id. Look for direct use of these parameters in SQL queries without apparent sanitization functions (such as mysql_real_escape_string, htmlspecialchars) or without parameterized queries.
    Affected if The code shows direct insertion of any listed parameter into SQL queries without sanitization or prepared statements.
  4. Verify database interaction is possible
    Confirm the application is configured with a database connection and that the affected files can be accessed via HTTP to potentially receive malicious input through the vulnerable parameters.
    Affected if The application connects to a database and the affected files are accessible over the network.

A system is affected if it runs myBloggie version 2.1.3_beta with the vulnerable PHP files present and accessible, where the code handles the listed parameters without sanitization in SQL queries.
