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
my little forum is a PHP and MySQL based internet forum that displays the messages in classical threaded view. Prior to version 2.5.12, an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the bookmark reordering feature allows any logged-in user to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to a full compromise of the application's database, including reading, modifying, or deleting all data. This issue has been patched in version 2.5.12.

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 confidence

An authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the bookmark reordering feature of my little forum versions prior to 2.5.12. Any logged-in user can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially compromising the entire database.

MitigationUpgrade my little forum to version 2.5.12 or later to apply the patch. As a defense-in-depth measure, restrict the application's database user privileges to the minimum required for normal operation.

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. Identify my little forum installation
    Locate the forum's main directory and look for version indicators such as a VERSION file, a version constant in include files, or check the footer/common page templates for version strings
    Affected if The application is my little forum
  2. Determine installed version
    Read the version number from version files, version constants in PHP files (commonly in includes/ or similar directories), or from admin panels displaying software version
    Affected if The version is lower than 2.5.12 (e.g., 2.5.11, 2.5.10, earlier)
  3. Verify bookmark feature is present
    Check for bookmark-related code files, templates, or database tables related to bookmarks/user favorites. Look for files containing 'bookmark' in the name or references to bookmark reordering functionality
    Affected if Bookmark reordering functionality exists in the installation
  4. Confirm user authentication is enabled
    Check if the forum allows user registration/login. Look at user table in database, user configuration files, or test if a user account can be created or logged in
    Affected if Any logged-in user accounts can exist in the system (required for exploitation)

The environment is affected if my little forum is installed with a version prior to 2.5.12 and the bookmark reordering feature is accessible to logged-in users.
