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
Roothub v2.6 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability via the topic parameter in the list() function.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Roothub v2.6 allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the topic parameter in the list() function, potentially enabling unauthorized data access or manipulation.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Roothub; if unavailable, refactor the list() function to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for the topic parameter and implement strict input validation.

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. Confirm Roothub installation and version
    Identify the installed Roothub version by checking the application's version file, about page, or API endpoint that returns version information. Compare against the affected version 2.6.0.
    Affected if The installed Roothub version is exactly 2.6.0
  2. Locate the list() function code
    Search the codebase for the list() function definition, particularly in modules or controllers handling topic-related operations. Look for functions that accept a 'topic' parameter.
    Affected if The list() function exists and accepts a 'topic' parameter without parameterized query handling
  3. Verify SQL query construction with topic parameter
    Examine the list() function implementation to see how the topic parameter is incorporated into SQL queries. Look for direct string concatenation or unsanitized string interpolation in SQL statements.
    Affected if The topic parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using prepared statements or parameterized queries
  4. Check application accessibility
    Determine if the vulnerable list() function is accessible via API endpoints or web routes. Identify the URL path and HTTP methods (GET/POST) that trigger this function.
    Affected if The list() function with the topic parameter is exposed via accessible web API or endpoint
  5. Review input validation on topic parameter
    Inspect any input validation, sanitization, or type checking applied to the topic parameter before it reaches the SQL query. Check for whitelist validation or proper escaping mechanisms.
    Affected if No input validation or sanitization exists for the topic parameter, or validation can be bypassed

If Roothub version 2.6.0 is installed and the list() function with the topic parameter is accessible without proper parameterized queries or input validation, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
