CVE-2007-6375 in Bitweaver
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Bitweaver 2.0.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) sort_mode parameter to wiki/list_pages.php and the (2) highlight parameter to search/index.php. NOTE: the researcher also reported injection via JavaScript code in the Search box, but this is probably a forced SQL error or other separate primary issue.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2007-6375 represents a critical security flaw in Bitweaver version 2.0.0 and earlier systems, exposing multiple pathways for remote code execution through SQL injection attacks. This vulnerability affects the wiki/list_pages.php and search/index.php scripts, creating exploitable entry points that could allow malicious actors to manipulate database queries and potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. The issue stems from inadequate input validation and sanitization mechanisms within these specific application components, enabling attackers to inject malicious SQL commands that bypass normal security controls.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability manifests through two distinct attack vectors that exploit improper parameter handling in the web application's database interaction layer. The first vector involves the sort_mode parameter in wiki/list_pages.php, where user-supplied input is directly incorporated into SQL query construction without proper sanitization or parameterization. The second vector targets the highlight parameter in search/index.php, demonstrating similar weaknesses in input processing that allow attackers to manipulate search functionality to execute unauthorized database operations. These vulnerabilities align with CWE-89, which specifically addresses SQL injection flaws where untrusted data is incorporated into SQL commands without proper validation or escaping mechanisms.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation could enable attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database server. This capability allows for complete database enumeration, data modification, deletion of critical information, and potentially full system compromise depending on the database user privileges. The vulnerability's remote nature means that attackers do not require physical access to the system or local network presence, making it particularly dangerous for web-facing applications. Organizations running affected Bitweaver versions face significant risk of unauthorized access to sensitive content management data, user credentials, and potentially system-level information.
Security mitigations for CVE-2007-6375 should prioritize immediate patching of affected systems to the latest stable Bitweaver releases that address these SQL injection vulnerabilities. Implementing proper input validation and parameterized queries in all database interactions represents the fundamental defense mechanism against such attacks. Organizations should also deploy web application firewalls and intrusion detection systems to monitor for suspicious SQL injection patterns in network traffic. Additionally, following secure coding practices including prepared statements, input sanitization, and proper error handling can prevent similar vulnerabilities from emerging in future development cycles. The ATT&CK framework categorizes this vulnerability under the T1190 technique for exploitation of remote services, emphasizing the need for comprehensive network monitoring and access control measures to prevent unauthorized exploitation attempts.
