CVE-2007-0759 in EasyMoblog
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in EasyMoblog 0.5.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) i or (2) post_id parameter to add_comment.php, which triggers an injection in libraries.inc.php; or (3) the i parameter to list_comments.php, which triggers an injection in libraries.inc.php.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2007-0759 represents a critical SQL injection flaw in EasyMoblog version 0.5.1, a content management system designed for blogging and content management. This vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation and sanitization within the application's parameter handling mechanisms, specifically affecting three distinct parameters across different script files. The flaw allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code directly into the database query execution flow, potentially enabling complete database compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability occurs through three distinct attack vectors that all ultimately target the same vulnerable file libraries.inc.php. The first vector involves the i parameter in add_comment.php, where user input is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. The second vector targets the post_id parameter in the same add_comment.php file, creating identical injection opportunities. The third vector utilizes the i parameter in list_comments.php, which also passes user-supplied data directly to the database layer. All three attack paths converge on the libraries.inc.php file, indicating a centralized code vulnerability that propagates throughout the application's functionality.
The operational impact of CVE-2007-0759 extends far beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation enables attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands with the privileges of the database user account. This can result in complete database compromise, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive information including user credentials, blog content, and potentially system configuration data. The vulnerability's remote nature means that attackers do not require physical access to the system, making it particularly dangerous for web applications that are publicly accessible. Attackers could leverage this vulnerability to establish persistent access, escalate privileges, or even use the compromised system as a launch point for further attacks within the network infrastructure.
From a cybersecurity framework perspective, this vulnerability maps directly to CWE-89 which identifies SQL injection as a fundamental weakness in input validation and sanitization processes. The flaw also aligns with ATT&CK technique T1190 which describes the use of SQL injection to gain unauthorized access to databases, and T1071.004 which covers application layer protocol manipulation. Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including input validation, parameterized queries, and proper output encoding to prevent user-supplied data from being interpreted as SQL commands. Additionally, regular security assessments and code reviews should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities in other application components, as this type of injection flaw commonly occurs in legacy systems that lack modern security controls and input sanitization mechanisms.
