CVE-2007-6159
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 Tilde CMS 4.x and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the aarstal parameter in a yeardetail action, a different vector than CVE-2006-1500.
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 Tilde CMS 4.x and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'aarstal' parameter in the 'yeardetail' action of index.php. This differs from CVE-2006-1500, indicating a separate injection point in the application's handling of year-related data.

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 Tilde CMS installationSearch the web server for index.php files and identify if the application is Tilde CMS by examining page source, headers, or error messages for 'Tilde' or 'tilde' brandingAffected if Tilde CMS is present on the server
-
Identify Tilde CMS versionCheck version files, README files, or admin panels for the exact CMS version number. Compare against the affected range of version 4.0 and earlierAffected if Installed version is 4.0 or any earlier version (e.g., 3.x)
-
Locate the vulnerable index.php fileIdentify the web-accessible entry point (index.php) that handles the 'yeardetail' action. Check if the application routes requests through this file for year-related functionalityAffected if index.php with 'yeardetail' action handling exists in the application
-
Verify parameter exposureInspect the application to confirm that the 'aarstal' parameter is accepted and processed by the 'yeardetail' action in index.php. This parameter handles year-related data processingAffected if The 'aarstal' parameter is accepted and used in database queries without proper sanitization
-
Confirm direct access to vulnerable endpointTest whether the 'yeardetail' action with the 'aarstal' parameter is accessible via HTTP requests to index.php. This confirms the attack surface existsAffected if The endpoint index.php?action=yeardetail&aarstal=... is reachable and processes the parameter
A user is affected if Tilde CMS version 4.0 or earlier is installed and the application exposes the 'yeardetail' action accepting the 'aarstal' parameter without 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 dataApply parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions using the 'aarstal' parameter. If no patched version exists, implement strict input validation and whitelist filtering for the yeardetail action.
