CVE-2008-6013
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 Freeway before 1.4.3.210 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors involving the (1) advanced search result and (2) service resource pages.
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 Freeway before version 1.4.3.210 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the advanced search result and service resource pages. The specific attack vectors are unspecified in the advisory, but the vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization allowing SQL command injection.

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 Freeway installation versionLocate the Freeway installation directory and check version files such as version.php, about.php, or a VERSION file in the root or documentation folder. If a web interface exists, look for an 'About' or version info page in the admin panel.Affected if The installed version matches any of these: <= 1.4.2.197, 1.0.25, 1.0.59, 1.0.060, 1.1.1.76, 1.1.1.80, 1.1.1.81, 1.2.0.113, 1.3, 1.3.0.142, 1.3.1.142, or 1.3.1.147. Version 1.4.3.210 and later are not affected.
-
Confirm advanced search functionality is presentNavigate to the advanced search feature in the web application (typically at /search, /advanced_search, or a similar URL path within the Freeway site). Attempt to access this page to confirm it exists and is reachable.Affected if The advanced search page is accessible on a Freeway version listed as affected in step 1.
-
Confirm service resource pages are presentLocate service resource pages in the Freeway installation. These are typically REST or SOAP endpoints in the /services, /service, or /resources path. Check for PHP files handling service requests in the web-accessible directories.Affected if Service resource pages are accessible on a Freeway version listed as affected in step 1.
-
Inspect advanced search input handling codeOpen the PHP source file handling the advanced search (commonly named search.php, advanced_search.php, or similar in the main application directory). Look for SQL query construction where user-supplied parameters are directly concatenated into SQL statements without using parameterized queries or input sanitization functions.Affected if The search code directly incorporates request parameters (GET/POST) into SQL queries without prepared statements, escaping, or validation.
-
Inspect service resource page input handling codeOpen the PHP source files handling service resource requests. These are typically in a services/ or api/ directory. Examine how incoming request parameters are processed and used in database queries.Affected if The service resource code directly incorporates request parameters into SQL queries without prepared statements, escaping, or validation.
A user is affected if Freeway version is 1.4.2.197 or lower, or matches one of the specific affected versions (1.0.25 through 1.3.1.147), AND the advanced search or service resource pages are accessible and contain unsanitized SQL query handling.

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 dataUpgrade Freeway to version 1.4.3.210 or later to obtain the vendor patch, or implement parameterized queries/prepared statements in the advanced search and service resource page code to neutralize SQL injection vectors.
