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 · unedited
Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in myBloggie 2.1.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the bloggie_root_path parameter to (1) config.php; (2) db.php, (3) template.php, (4) functions.php, and (5) classes.php in includes/; (6) viewmode.php; and (7) blog_body.php. NOTE: another researcher disputes the vulnerability because the files are protected against direct requests, contain no relevant include statements, or do not exist

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 · moderate confidence

Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in myBloggie 2.1.5 where the bloggie_root_path parameter in multiple PHP files (config.php, db.php, template.php, functions.php, classes.php in includes/, viewmode.php, and blog_body.php) can be manipulated to include and execute arbitrary remote PHP code. However, researcher dispute exists regarding actual exploitability due to file protection mechanisms and missing include statements.

MitigationDisable allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in php.ini; remove or sanitize the bloggie_root_path parameter from affected files; consider upgrading or replacing myBloggie as it appears to be unmaintained.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm myBloggie version
    Locate the version file or header in the myBloggie installation (typically in a version.php, index.php, or admin area). Check for '2.1.5' in version strings.
    Affected if The installed version is myBloggie 2.1.5 exactly.
  2. Identify affected PHP files
    Check for the presence of these files in the web root: includes/config.php, includes/db.php, includes/template.php, includes/functions.php, includes/classes.php, viewmode.php, and blog_body.php.
    Affected if Any of these vulnerable PHP files exist in the installation.
  3. Inspect bloggie_root_path usage in includes/config.php
    Open includes/config.php and search for occurrences of 'bloggie_root_path' used in include(), require(), or similar functions without sanitization or validation.
    Affected if The bloggie_root_path parameter is used in an include/require statement without proper validation, allowing arbitrary URL injection.
  4. Inspect bloggie_root_path usage in other affected files
    Open each of the other listed PHP files (db.php, template.php, functions.php, classes.php, viewmode.php, blog_body.php) and search for 'bloggie_root_path' used in include/require statements.
    Affected if Any of these files contain bloggie_root_path in include/require statements without validation.

The environment is affected if myBloggie 2.1.5 is installed AND the vulnerable PHP files contain unprotected bloggie_root_path parameters that could be manipulated via HTTP requests to inject remote URLs.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Disable allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in php.ini; remove or sanitize the bloggie_root_path parameter from affected files; consider upgrading or replacing myBloggie as it appears to be unmaintained.

Recommended fix Low confidence
  1. 1. Discontinue use of myBloggie 2.1.5 as it is an abandoned, obsolete software package from 2007 with no available security updates.
  2. 2. If immediate migration is not possible, disable PHP's allow_url_include setting in php.ini: set allow_url_include = Off
  3. 3. As an additional hardening measure, ensure that register_globals is disabled (it should be in modern PHP versions)
  4. 4. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing bloggie_root_path parameters
  5. 5. Plan migration to a currently-supported blog platform such as WordPress, Ghost, or Hugo
Caveat There is no upgrade path available - myBloggie is an abandoned project with no maintained successor or patched release
