CVE-2006-3586
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 Jetbox CMS 2.1 SR1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) frontsession COOKIE parameter and (2) view parameter in index.php, and the (3) login parameter in admin/cms/index.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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Jetbox CMS 2.1 SR1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via three vectors: the frontsession COOKIE parameter, the view parameter in index.php, and the login parameter in admin/cms/index.php. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation allowing malicious SQL statements to be injected into 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.
-
Identify Jetbox CMS installation and versionLocate the Jetbox CMS installation directory. Check for version identifiers in version files, README files, or the main index.php file header comments. The affected version is specifically 2.1_sr1.Affected if The installed version is Jetbox CMS 2.1_sr1 exactly.
-
Check for vulnerable index.php in web rootLocate the index.php file in the web document root. Inspect the code for handling of the 'view' GET parameter. Look for SQL queries that incorporate the view parameter without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.Affected if The index.php file exists and contains SQL queries using the 'view' parameter without prepared statements.
-
Check for vulnerable admin/cms/index.phpLocate the admin/cms/index.php file. Inspect the code for handling of the 'login' POST or GET parameter. Look for SQL queries that incorporate the login parameter without input validation or parameterized queries.Affected if The admin/cms/index.php file exists and contains SQL queries using the 'login' parameter without prepared statements.
-
Check frontsession COOKIE parameter handlingSearch the codebase for references to 'frontsession' as a COOKIE variable. Inspect how this COOKIE value is used in database queries. Look for direct insertion of COOKIE values into SQL statements without sanitization.Affected if The code reads the 'frontsession' COOKIE and uses it directly in SQL queries without prepared statements.
-
Verify SQL query implementationExamine the three identified files (index.php and admin/cms/index.php) for dynamic SQL construction. Search for patterns like string concatenation or interpolation of variables ($var) directly into SQL queries rather than using parameter binding.Affected if Dynamic SQL queries are built using string concatenation with user input (parameters, COOKIEs) instead of parameterized queries.
You are affected if Jetbox CMS version 2.1_sr1 is installed and the code in index.php or admin/cms/index.php uses the view, login, or frontsession COOKIE parameters in SQL queries without parameterized statements.

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 with parameterized queries or prepared statements in all three affected files (index.php and admin/cms/index.php) to neutralize SQL injection attacks. Apply input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth measures.
