CVE-2008-1464
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 Gallarific Free Edition 1.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) query parameter to (a) search.php; (2) gusername and (3) gpassword parameters to (b) login.php; and the (4) username and (5) password parameters to (c) gadmin/index.php in a signin action. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
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 confidenceMultiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Gallarific Free Edition 1.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the query parameter in search.php, gusername/gpassword parameters in login.php, and username/password parameters in gadmin/index.php during signin. These unsanitized inputs are directly used in SQL queries, enabling data extraction or potentially remote code execution.

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.
-
Verify Gallarific versionLocate the Gallarific installation directory and check version identifiers in any version file, readme, or admin panel. Common locations include a version.php file, the main index.php header comments, or the admin dashboard.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.1 (note: this vulnerability affects only this specific version, not later releases)
-
Confirm vulnerable PHP files existCheck for the presence of search.php, login.php, and gadmin/index.php in the web application root directory.Affected if These three files exist in the Gallarific installation
-
Inspect search.php for unsanitized query parameterOpen search.php and locate the code handling the 'query' parameter. Verify it is directly inserted into SQL queries without sanitization functions like mysql_real_escape_string, parameterized queries, or input validation.Affected if The query parameter is used directly in SQL queries without any escaping or prepared statements
-
Inspect login.php for unsanitized credentialsOpen login.php and locate where gusername and gpassword parameters are handled. Verify these inputs are concatenated directly into SQL queries.Affected if gusername/gpassword are directly used in SQL without sanitization or prepared statements
-
Inspect gadmin/index.php for unsanitized signin parametersOpen gadmin/index.php and locate the signin handler. Check if username and password parameters are inserted directly into SQL queries.Affected if username/password are directly used in SQL during signin without sanitization or prepared statements
You are affected if Gallarific version 1.1 is installed AND any of the three vulnerable files contain direct SQL query concatenation without sanitization for the specified parameters.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations using the affected parameters. Alternatively, deploy a WAF to block SQL injection payloads until the code can be patched.
