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 CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the parent parameter to (1) post.php and possibly (2) process_post.php.

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 CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the parent parameter in post.php (and possibly process_post.php). The vulnerability is exploitable when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allowing unsanitized user input to be directly concatenated into SQL queries.

MitigationReplace direct string concatenation in SQL queries with parameterized queries (PDO prepared statements) to properly escape user input. As a temporary workaround, enabling magic_quotes_gpc provides some protection, but the code should be patched properly.

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. Identify CyBoards PHP Lite version
    Check your installed files for a version identifier, typically in a README, version.php, or the admin panel of the application
    Affected if The installed version is 1.25
  2. Locate vulnerable script post.php
    Search the web root for post.php (and process_post.php) that are part of the CyBoards installation
    Affected if Either file exists and is part of a CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25 installation
  3. Check if magic_quotes_gpc is disabled
    Create a PHP script with phpinfo() or check the PHP configuration directly for the magic_quotes_gpc setting
    Affected if magic_quotes_gpc is set to Off (disabled)
  4. Inspect the parent parameter handling in post.php
    Open post.php and search for SQL queries that use the parent parameter without proper escaping or parameterized queries
    Affected if The code concatenates the parent parameter directly into an SQL query without using parameterized queries or escaping functions

A user is affected if they run CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25 with post.php present and magic_quotes_gpc disabled, allowing direct SQL injection via the parent parameter.
