CVE-2006-2565
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 Alstrasoft Article Manager Pro 1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the author_id parameter in profile.php and (2) the aut_id parameter in userarticles.php. NOTE: the aut_id vector can produce resultant path disclosure if the SQL manipulation is invalid.
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 Alstrasoft Article Manager Pro 1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the author_id parameter in profile.php and the aut_id parameter in userarticles.php. The aut_id vector can also expose file paths if malformed SQL is submitted. This is a classic SQL injection flaw where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in database queries.

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.
-
Confirm Alstrasoft Article Manager Pro is installedLocate the application on your server and identify the product name from the application files or documentationAffected if The installed product is Alstrasoft Article Manager Pro
-
Determine the installed versionCheck version information in the application, such as a version file, header comment in PHP files, or an about/admin pageAffected if The version is 1.6
-
Verify affected files existSearch the application directory for profile.php and userarticles.php filesAffected if Both profile.php and userarticles.php exist and are web-accessible
-
Check if vulnerable parameters are in useExamine the code in profile.php for the author_id parameter and userarticles.php for the aut_id parameter to determine if user input is used directly in SQL queries without sanitizationAffected if The author_id or aut_id parameters accept user-supplied input and include it directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or proper escaping
You are affected if you are running Alstrasoft Article Manager Pro version 1.6 with the vulnerable profile.php and userarticles.php files accessible and processing unsanitized author_id or aut_id parameters 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 dataFix by implementing parameterized queries (prepared statements) for both the author_id and aut_id parameters in the affected files, replacing direct string concatenation in SQL queries. Validate and sanitize all user inputs, and apply the principle of least privilege to the database user account.
