CVE-2006-2029
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 Jeremy Ashcraft Simplog 0.9.3 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) tid parameter in (a) preview.php; the (2) cid, (3) pid, and (4) eid parameters in (b) archive.php; and the (5) pid parameter in (c) comments.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 confidenceSimplog 0.9.3 and earlier contains multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in preview.php (tid parameter), archive.php (cid, pid, eid parameters), and comments.php (pid parameter). Remote attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands by injecting malicious SQL syntax through these unsanitized user-supplied parameters.

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 Simplog installationLook for Simplog web application files on the server. Check common web directories for a folder containing Simplog files (such as index.php, config.php, or style.css from the Simplog package).Affected if Simplog is found on the server and the version is unknown or confirmed to be 0.9.3 or earlier.
-
Determine Simplog versionLocate a version indicator in Simplog source files. Check the main index.php, a VERSION file, or any README/CHANGELOG file included with the installation for a version number.Affected if The installed version is 0.9.3 or any version lower than 0.9.3.
-
Verify vulnerable files existCheck for the presence of preview.php, archive.php, and comments.php in the Simplog web directory. These are the files containing the SQL injection vulnerabilities.Affected if Any of these three PHP files (preview.php, archive.php, comments.php) exist in the Simplog installation.
-
Confirm parameter handling is vulnerableExamine the source code of preview.php, archive.php, and comments.php to see if the parameters (tid in preview.php; cid, pid, eid in archive.php; pid in comments.php) are used directly in SQL queries without proper escaping, prepared statements, or parameter binding.Affected if The parameters are used in SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries, allowing SQL injection.
The environment is affected if Simplog version 0.9.3 or earlier is installed and the vulnerable PHP files (preview.php, archive.php, comments.php) contain unsanitized parameters used in SQL queries.

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 dataImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations using the affected parameters. Apply proper input validation and escaping for user-supplied values before using them in SQL queries.
