CVE-2006-3544

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in Invision Power Board (IPB) 1.3 Final, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the CODE parameter in the Stats, Mail, and Reg actions of index.php. The developer has disputed this issue, stating that the CODE parameter does not interact with the database and is only used in a SWITCH statement to select a function.

Risk Assessment

If the vulnerability is valid, an attacker could gain access to the database, modify or exfiltrate data, and potentially take control of the application. Organizations using IPB 1.3 Final should verify whether their installation is affected.

Recommendation

It is recommended to thoroughly review the source code for the use of the CODE parameter and, if possible, upgrade to a newer version of IPB. If upgrading is not feasible, implement WAF rules to block suspicious CODE parameter values.
