CVE-2015-2956
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 Igreks MilkyStep Light 0.94 and earlier and Professional 1.82 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
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 · low confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Igreks MilkyStep Light (versions 0.94 and earlier) and Professional (versions 1.82 and earlier) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation in the web application, enabling attackers to manipulate SQL queries.

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 MilkyStep installationSearch your web server for MilkyStep-related files, directories, or application components. Look for common MilkyStep paths such as /milkystep, /cgi-bin/milkystep, or check your web application inventory for this software.Affected if MilkyStep Light or Professional is found installed on the server
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version number of the MilkyStep installation. Common locations include: version files in the application directory, the administrator control panel, the footer of the web interface, or the HTTP Server header if exposed.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is lower than 0.95 for Light or lower than 1.83 for Professional/OEM
-
Compare against affected version rangesIf the version is identified, compare it against the affected ranges: MilkyStep Light versions 0.94 and earlier, MilkyStep Professional versions 1.82 and earlier, and MilkyStep Professional OEM versions 1.82 and earlier.Affected if Running MilkyStep Light <= 0.94 OR MilkyStep Professional/OEM <= 1.82
-
Verify web application is exposedConfirm that the MilkyStep web application is accessible over the network. This SQL injection affects the web interface, so the application must be running and reachable for exploitation.Affected if The MilkyStep web application is actively running and accessible externally or internally
If MilkyStep Light version 0.94 or earlier, or MilkyStep Professional/OEM version 1.82 or earlier is installed and the web interface is accessible, the environment is affected by CVE-2015-2956.

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 a patched version of MilkyStep that addresses the SQL injection vulnerability. If no patch is available, implement input validation and parameterized queries (prepared statements) across all user-supplied inputs to prevent SQL injection attacks.
