CVE-2006-4737
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 index.php in Jetbox CMS allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the item parameter. NOTE: The view vector is already covered by CVE-2006-3586.2.
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 index.php allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL code via the item parameter. The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication and carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating network-level exploitability with partial availability and confidentiality impact.

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 Jetbox CMS installationLocate index.php in the web root directory and verify it belongs to Jetbox CMS by examining file headers or configuration files for 'Jetbox' or 'jetbox' branding.Affected if index.php from Jetbox CMS is found in the web directory.
-
Identify Jetbox CMS versionOpen index.php or look for version.php, readme.txt, or CHANGELOG files in the installation directory to find the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is 2.1_sr1.
-
Verify the item parameter handlingExamine index.php source code to locate the code handling the 'item' parameter from GET or POST requests. Check if this parameter is used directly in SQL queries without sanitization.Affected if The item parameter is used in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input validation.
-
Test for SQL injection exposureSend a crafted request to index.php with the item parameter set to a SQL injection payload, such as 'item=1' OR '1'='1, and observe the application response for SQL errors or unexpected data.Affected if The application returns SQL error messages or behaves differently based on the injected payload, indicating unsanitized input execution.
The environment is affected if Jetbox CMS version 2.1_sr1 is running and the index.php file uses the item parameter in SQL queries without input validation or parameterized 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 strict input validation on the item parameter and replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) to prevent SQL injection payloads from being executed.
