CVE-2007-2626
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 admin.php in SchoolBoard allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) username and (2) password parameters. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue, because 'username' does not exist, and the password is not used in any queries
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 · low confidenceCVE-2007-2626 was originally reported as a SQL injection in SchoolBoard's admin.php via username/password parameters, but CVE itself disputes this finding, stating the 'username' parameter does not exist in the code and the password parameter is not used in any SQL queries. No actual vulnerability is present.

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.
-
Locate admin.php in SchoolBoard installationFind the admin.php file in your SchoolBoard installation directory (typically in the web root or admin folder)Affected if The file does not exist or is not the original SchoolBoard admin.php (indicating a modified or different product)
-
Verify username parameter does not existOpen admin.php and search for any reference to a 'username' parameter in POST, GET, or request variablesAffected if A 'username' parameter is found and used in the code (this would indicate the original report was accurate and the CVE might need reassessment)
-
Check if password parameter is used in SQL queriesSearch admin.php for SQL query patterns (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) and check if the 'password' or $_POST['password'] variable is concatenated or interpolated into any queryAffected if The password parameter is directly used in a SQL query without proper sanitization or parameterized queries
-
Compare against original vulnerability claimReview the code flow in admin.php for login/authentication logic and verify whether the originally reported injection point existsAffected if The code contains the exact vulnerable pattern described in the original security report (parameter used in SQL)
Your environment is NOT affected by this CVE - the vulnerability was disputed and found to not exist in the codebase; the reported parameters either do not exist or are not used in SQL queries.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataNo mitigation required as CVE has determined the reported SQL injection does not exist in the codebase - the parameters cited do not exist or are not used in queries.
