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.
-
Identify Husrev BlackBoard installation versionCheck the application documentation, header files, or version file in the web root for the installed version number. Look for version.txt, readme.txt, or check the application login page for version information.Affected if The installed version is 2.0.2 exactly.
-
Locate philboard_forum.asp fileSearch the web root directory for the file philboard_forum.asp. Use file system search or check the /inc/ or /common/ directories where the file is typically located.Affected if The file philboard_forum.asp exists in the web application directory.
-
Verify forumid parameter is acceptedAccess the application's forum listing page and observe if URLs contain a forumid parameter (e.g., philboard_forum.asp?forumid=1). Test if the parameter accepts input.Affected if The forumid parameter is present and accepts user-supplied values.
-
Confirm application is network accessibleVerify the Husrev BlackBoard web application is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS from a network location. This is a remote SQL injection, so the application must be exposed.Affected if The application is accessible remotely and the vulnerable endpoint is reachable.
You are affected if you have Husrev BlackBoard version 2.0.2 running with philboard_forum.asp accessible and the forumid parameter exposed to user input.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements for the forumid parameter, and implement proper input validation to prevent SQL injection attacks.
