CVE-2019-15746
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 · uneditedSITOS six Build v6.2.1 allows an attacker to inject arbitrary PHP commands. As a result, an attacker can compromise the running server and execute system commands in the context of the web user.
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 · moderate confidenceSITOS six Build v6.2.1 contains a command injection vulnerability allowing attackers to inject arbitrary PHP commands through unsanitized user input. This enables complete server compromise with the privileges of the web server user.

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 SITOS six installationCheck if the SITOS six web application is present in your environment by searching for its web root directory, typical configuration files, or by accessing the application's web interface if publicly available.Affected if SITOS six is installed and running
-
Identify installed versionLocate and inspect the version or build information for your SITOS six installation. This may be found in the application header, an about page, a version file within the web root, or in the application's configuration files.Affected if The exact version cannot be determined or is not 6.2.1
-
Compare version to affected releaseCompare your identified version/build number against the affected version: SITOS six Build v6.2.1. Verify if your installed version matches exactly 6.2.1.Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.2.1
-
Check for user input handling exposureIdentify if the web application exposes functionality that processes user-supplied input. Since this is a command injection flaw through unsanitized input, determine whether any web interfaces accept and process user data.Affected if User input fields or endpoints are accessible and process input without obvious sanitization controls
Your environment is affected if SITOS six Build v6.2.1 is installed and any user input handling functionality is accessible, as this version contains the command injection vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataUpdate to a patched version of SITOS six if available; otherwise, implement strict input validation and sanitization at all user input points, and consider web application firewall rules to block command injection attempts.
