CVE-2007-3003
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 myBloggie 2.1.6 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) cat_id or (2) year parameter to index.php in a viewuser action, different vectors than CVE-2005-1500 and CVE-2005-4225.
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 vulnerabilities in myBloggie 2.1.6 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cat_id and year parameters in index.php when handling a viewuser action. User-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL 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.
-
Locate myBloggie installation and identify versionSearch for the myBloggie application directory on the web server. Check for version indicators in files such as readme.txt, version.php, or the admin dashboard. Compare the installed version number to the affected range (2.1.6 and earlier).Affected if myBloggie version 2.1.6 or any version <= 2.1.6 is found on the server
-
Identify the vulnerable index.php fileLocate the main index.php file in the myBloggie installation directory. Examine the file for code handling the 'viewuser' action, specifically looking for sections that process the cat_id and year parameters.Affected if index.php exists and contains logic to handle the viewuser action with cat_id or year parameters
-
Check for SQL query construction without prepared statementsWithin index.php, locate the SQL queries that incorporate the cat_id and year parameters. Search for patterns like direct string concatenation or string interpolation (e.g., "SELECT... WHERE cat_id=" . $cat_id) rather than parameterized queries using prepare() or bindParam().Affected if SQL queries directly embed the cat_id or year parameters without using prepared statements or parameterized queries
-
Verify parameter handling lacks input validationExamine the code that receives the cat_id and year parameters (typically via $_GET or $_REQUEST). Determine whether the code performs any sanitization, type casting, or validation (such as is_numeric() checks) before using these values in SQL queries.Affected if The cat_id and year parameters are used in SQL queries without any input validation or sanitization steps
-
Confirm the viewuser action is accessibleTest accessing index.php with the viewuser action parameter (e.g., index.php?action=viewuser&cat_id=1 or index.php?action=viewuser&year=2007) to verify the vulnerable code path is reachable.Affected if The viewuser action with cat_id or year parameters can be accessed and triggers SQL query execution
The environment is affected if myBloggie version 2.1.6 or earlier is installed, the vulnerable index.php file contains viewuser action handling for cat_id or year parameters, and those parameters are used in SQL queries without prepared statements or input validation.

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 requires implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements for all SQL queries that incorporate the cat_id and year parameters, along with input validation to reject malicious input.
