CVE-2006-5107 in CubeCart
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Devellion CubeCart 2.0.x allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the user_name parameter in admin/forgot_pass.php, (2) the order_id parameter in view_order.php, (3) the view_doc parameter in view_doc.php, and (4) the order_id parameter in admin/print_order.php.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2006-5107 represents a critical security flaw in Devellion CubeCart version 2.0.x that exposes multiple pathways for remote SQL injection attacks. This vulnerability affects the e-commerce platform's administrative and user-facing components, creating significant risks for organizations relying on the software for online transactions and customer data management. The flaw stems from inadequate input validation and sanitization within several key PHP scripts that process user-supplied data without proper security measures to prevent malicious SQL command injection.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability manifests through four distinct attack vectors that all share the common weakness of improper parameter handling in SQL queries. The first vector occurs in the admin/forgot_pass.php script where the user_name parameter is directly incorporated into SQL queries without sanitization, allowing attackers to manipulate the authentication process and potentially gain unauthorized access to administrative accounts. The second vulnerability exists in view_order.php where the order_id parameter enables attackers to inject malicious SQL commands when retrieving order information, potentially exposing sensitive customer transaction data. The third vector in view_doc.php utilizes the view_doc parameter to execute similar injection attacks against document viewing functionality, while the fourth vulnerability in admin/print_order.php targets the order_id parameter within administrative print functions, allowing unauthorized modification of order data and potentially enabling fraudulent transactions.
From an operational impact perspective, this vulnerability creates substantial risks for affected organizations including unauthorized data access, data modification, and potential complete system compromise. Attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to extract sensitive customer information such as personal details, payment information, and order histories, leading to identity theft and financial fraud. The administrative access points particularly dangerous as they could enable attackers to modify product catalogs, manipulate pricing, alter customer accounts, and potentially inject malicious code into the system. The cumulative effect of these multiple attack vectors increases the exploitation probability and attack surface, making the system particularly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks that could leverage one vector to establish a foothold and then pivot to other vulnerable components.
Organizations affected by CVE-2006-5107 should implement immediate mitigations including input validation and sanitization of all user-supplied parameters, particularly those used in SQL queries. The recommended approach involves implementing proper parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks, as outlined in the CWE-89 category for improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. Additionally, input validation should be implemented at multiple layers including application-level filtering, database-level restrictions, and network-level monitoring to detect and prevent malicious payloads. The ATT&CK framework's T1071.004 technique for application layer protocol traffic filtering can be applied to monitor and restrict SQL-related traffic patterns. Regular security audits and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities in other applications, while implementing web application firewalls and intrusion detection systems can provide additional layers of protection against exploitation attempts. Organizations should also ensure proper access controls and least privilege principles are implemented for administrative functions to limit the potential damage from successful exploitation attempts.
