CVE-2009-3582
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 the delete subroutine in SQL-Ledger 2.8.24 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) id and possibly (2) db parameters in a Delete action to the output of a Vendors>Reports>Search search operation.

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 SQL-Ledger is installedLocate the SQL-Ledger installation directory and identify the main executable or CGI scripts (typically in /usr/lib/sql-ledger, /var/www/sql-ledger, or similar paths). Look for ledger.pl or ledger.cgi.Affected if SQL-Ledger software is not found on the system.
-
Identify installed versionCheck the version file or the main Perl script header for version information. Common locations include VERSION file in the installation root, or examine the first few lines of ledger.pl/ledger.cgi for a version string.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.8.24.
-
Verify Vendors module is accessibleLog into SQL-Ledger and navigate to Vendors > Reports > Search to confirm this module is enabled and accessible to authenticated users.Affected if The Vendors>Reports>Search menu item exists and is accessible to users.
-
Check delete subroutine existsExamine the Perl source code in the SQL-Ledger installation, specifically looking for a delete subroutine in the vendor or reports modules that handles the id and db parameters.Affected if The delete subroutine processes id and db parameters without parameterized queries.
-
Review access controlsDetermine if the delete functionality in Vendors>Reports>Search is accessible to authenticated users. Check user role permissions and whether low-privilege users can perform Delete actions.Affected if Authenticated users with access to Vendors>Reports>Search can trigger delete operations.
Your environment is affected if SQL-Ledger version 2.8.24 is installed with the Vendors module enabled and the delete subroutine in the Reports>Search functionality processes id/db parameters 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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the id and db parameters in the delete subroutine, validate and sanitize all user inputs, and upgrade to a patched version if available.
