CVE-2010-2577
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 Pligg before 1.1.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the title parameter to (1) storyrss.php or (2) story.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 vulnerabilities in Pligg CMS versions prior to 1.1.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the title parameter in storyrss.php and story.php files. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized user input being directly used in SQL queries, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries for data exfiltration or further compromise.

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 Pligg CMS versionCheck your Pligg installation for version information - typically found in a version file, README, or admin panel. Compare the installed version number against the affected range (1.0.0 through 1.1.0).Affected if Installed version is 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, or any version up to and including 1.1.0.
-
Locate story.php fileSearch your Pligg installation directory for the story.php file. This file handles story display functionality.Affected if The story.php file exists in your Pligg installation and the application runs version 1.1.0 or below.
-
Locate storyrss.php fileSearch your Pligg installation directory for the storyrss.php file. This file handles RSS feed generation.Affected if The storyrss.php file exists in your Pligg installation and the application runs version 1.1.0 or below.
-
Verify title parameter handlingInspect the code in both story.php and storyrss.php files. Look for SQL query construction that uses the title parameter without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.Affected if The code contains direct use of the title parameter in SQL queries without input sanitization or prepared statements.
You are affected if your Pligg CMS installation is version 1.1.0 or below and contains the vulnerable story.php or storyrss.php files with unsanitized title parameter handling in SQL 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 dataUpgrade Pligg CMS to version 1.1.1 or later, which contains the security fix. Alternatively, implement proper input sanitization and use parameterized queries/prepared statements for the title parameter in both affected files.
