CVE-2006-0490
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 · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in login.asp in ASPThai.Net ASPThai Forums 8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and bypass login authentication via the password field.
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 vulnerability in the login.asp authentication mechanism of ASPThai Forums 8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through the password field, bypassing authentication and potentially accessing or modifying the entire database.

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 ASPThai Forums installationSearch the web server for files or directories characteristic of ASPThai Forums (common paths: /forum/, /aspthai/, or check for ASPThai-specific files/folders in the web root)Affected if AspThai Forums software is present on the server
-
Determine installed versionLocate version information in the software (typically in a config file, about page, or version metadata file within the ASPThai Forums installation)Affected if The installed version is 8.0 or lower (any version <= 8.0)
-
Verify login.asp existsLocate login.asp file within the ASPThai Forums web directory structure (typically in the root or /admin/ folder)Affected if login.asp file exists and is accessible via the web
-
Inspect authentication mechanism in login.aspExamine the source code of login.asp, specifically looking at how the password parameter is handled in SQL queries (search for SQL query construction involving password fields without parameterized queries)Affected if The password field is used in a dynamic SQL query without proper parameterization or input validation
If ASPThai Forums version 8.0 or earlier is installed and login.asp with a vulnerable SQL query in the password field is active, the environment is affected by this CVE.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries in login.asp with parameterized queries/prepared statements, implement strict input validation on all user-supplied fields, and apply least-privilege principles to database accounts.
