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 · unedited
SQL injection vulnerability in LightNEasy.php in LightNEasy 3.2.1, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in an edituser action, a different vector than CVE-2008-6593, CVE-2010-3484, and CVE-2010-3485.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in LightNEasy.php version 3.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in an edituser action, specifically when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled.

MitigationEnable magic_quotes_gpc as a temporary workaround, or preferably refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries/prepared statements to prevent SQL 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate LightNEasy.php installation
    Search the web server document root for the file LightNEasy.php
    Affected if The file LightNEasy.php exists on the server
  2. Verify LightNEasy version
    Open LightNEasy.php in a text editor or use 'grep -i version' to find the version declaration inside the file
    Affected if The version listed is exactly 3.2.1
  3. Check PHP magic_quotes_gpc setting
    Create a PHP info page or check php.ini for the magic_quotes_gpc directive
    Affected if magic_quotes_gpc is set to Off or 0 (the vulnerability is only exploitable when this is disabled)
  4. Confirm edituser action is accessible
    Check if the LightNEasy administrative interface or routing handles the edituser action parameter
    Affected if The edituser functionality is enabled or accessible in the application

You are affected if LightNEasy.php version 3.2.1 is installed and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled in PHP configuration, allowing the SQL injection in the edituser action to be exploited.
