CVE-2012-0069
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 ajax.php in Batavi before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the boxToReload parameter.
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 Batavi e-commerce platform's ajax.php allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the boxToReload parameter. This enables attackers to potentially read, modify, or delete database contents, including sensitive customer and administrative data.

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 Batavi installation versionLocate the version file or header in the Batavi installation directory. Common locations include a VERSION file, included version info in main index.php, or in a configuration file. Check the software documentation or source for version markers.Affected if The installed version matches one of the affected versions: 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.4, or any version <= 1.2.
-
Locate ajax.php in the web rootSearch for the file ajax.php in the Batavi web directory structure. This file typically handles AJAX requests within the application.Affected if The file ajax.php exists in the Batavi installation and is web-accessible.
-
Inspect ajax.php for boxToReload parameter handlingOpen ajax.php and search for code handling the 'boxToReload' parameter. Look for SQL queries that directly incorporate this parameter without using parameterized queries or proper input sanitization.Affected if The code processes the boxToReload parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements, binding, or sanitization functions.
-
Verify the vulnerable code patternExamine the SQL query construction involving boxToReload. Check if the parameter value is concatenated directly into the SQL string rather than being passed as a bound parameter.Affected if The boxToReload value is inserted directly into SQL without escaping, quoting, or use of placeholder/binding mechanisms.
-
Confirm web exposure of the vulnerable endpointTest accessing ajax.php via HTTP and verify the boxToReload parameter can be submitted. Attempt a simple test payload to confirm the parameter is processed.Affected if The ajax.php script accepts and processes the boxToReload parameter from HTTP requests without validation.
A user is affected if they are running any Batavi version 1.0 through 1.2 (including all listed 1.0.x and 1.1.x variants) and the ajax.php file with the vulnerable boxToReload parameter handling is present and accessible on their web server.

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 to Batavi 1.2.1 or later, which contains the patched code with proper input sanitization/parameterized queries for the boxToReload parameter.
