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 installed Dedecmsv6 versionLocate the version file or admin panel that displays the CMS version. Common locations include a version.php file in the includes directory, the admin dashboard footer, or a readme/install file.Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.1.9
-
Locate sys_sql_query.php fileSearch the web root directory for the file sys_sql_query.php. Check in the /include or /admin directories common to Dedecms installations.Affected if The file sys_sql_query.php exists in the installation
-
Verify web accessibility of vulnerable fileAttempt to access sys_sql_query.php via HTTP/HTTPS request (for example: https://yourdomain.com/include/sys_sql_query.php). Check if the server responds with the file content or an error message.Affected if The file is accessible via web request without authentication
-
Check for recent file modificationsCompare the sys_sql_query.php file hash or modification timestamp against a known clean version from the 6.1.9 release. Use file integrity monitoring tools or compare file hashes.Affected if The file has been modified from the original 6.1.9 release version
A system is affected if it runs Dedecmsv6 version 6.1.9 with the sys_sql_query.php file present and web-accessible.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations in sys_sql_query.php, and apply input validation and output encoding to prevent SQL injection attacks.
