CVE-2008-1631
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 login.php in CuteFlow 1.5.0 and 2.10.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the UserId parameter, related to the login form field in index.php.
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 CuteFlow's login.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the UserId parameter. The login form field in index.php passes user input directly to SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries, enabling authentication bypass or data exfiltration.

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 CuteFlow installation existsLocate CuteFlow application files in the web server document root or application directory. Search for directories or files containing 'cuteflow' in the path.Affected if CuteFlow software is present in the environment
-
Identify installed CuteFlow versionLocate version file or version string within the CuteFlow installation. Common locations include version.php, about.php, or a config file that discloses the version number.Affected if Installed version matches 1.5.0 or 2.10.0 exactly
-
Verify login.php handles UserId unsafelyOpen the login.php file from the CuteFlow installation and search for SQL queries that incorporate the UserId parameter. Check if the parameter is inserted directly into the query string without using prepared statements, parameter binding, or escaping functions.Affected if The UserId parameter from the login form is concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterized queries
-
Confirm login form submits to vulnerable endpointExamine index.php to trace how the login form input is processed. Identify that UserId data from the login form is passed to login.php where it enters unsanitized SQL queries.Affected if The login form in index.php passes UserId input to login.php without sanitization before it reaches SQL queries
Environment is affected if CuteFlow version 1.5.0 or 2.10.0 is installed AND the login.php file processes the UserId parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization.

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/prepared statements for the UserId parameter in login.php. Validate and sanitize all user inputs, and implement proper escaping or use an ORM/PDO approach.
