Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Phoenix View CMS Pre Alpha2 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the del parameter to (1) gbuch.admin.php, (2) links.admin.php, (3) menue.admin.php, (4) news.admin.php, and (5) todo.admin.php in admin/module/.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a 2008 SQL injection issue in Phoenix View CMS Pre Alpha2 and earlier. A remote attacker could manipulate the del parameter in several admin module pages to run arbitrary SQL against the site database. Business impact depends on whether this old CMS is still deployed and reachable.

Executive priority

Prioritize quickly if Phoenix View CMS is present. The product appears old and source data is incomplete, but arbitrary SQL execution against a database can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability when exposed.

Technical view

The CVE describes multiple SQL injection flaws in admin/module gbuch.admin.php, links.admin.php, menue.admin.php, news.admin.php, and todo.admin.php through the del parameter. The bundle provides no CVSS, CWE, patch, or complete CPE data. Exploit-DB and IBM X-Force references indicate public vulnerability details exist.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to legacy Phoenix View CMS Pre Alpha2 or earlier deployments, especially where admin/module pages are reachable by untrusted users. The source bundle does not identify modern product names, package ecosystems, or CPEs.

Exploitation context

CISA KEV status is false in the bundle, so active exploitation is not established here. A public Exploit-DB reference is listed, which raises validation priority for any exposed legacy deployment, but this does not prove current exploitation.

Researcher notes

Key gaps are missing CVSS, CWE, CPE, and remediation data. Treat the affected surface as the listed admin/module PHP files and del parameter only. Do not assume broader Phoenix View versions or forks without separate evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory public and internal web assets for Phoenix View CMS.
  • Confirm whether any instance is Pre Alpha2 or earlier.
  • Restrict access to admin/module paths to trusted administrators.
  • Check vendor or maintained fork guidance for patches or upgrades.
  • Retire or isolate unsupported Phoenix View CMS deployments.

Validation and detection

  • Search asset inventories for Phoenix View CMS installations.
  • Check application file paths for the listed admin module pages.
  • Review web logs for unexpected del parameter requests.
  • Confirm whether admin/module pages are externally reachable.
  • Assess database logs for unusual queries around relevant timestamps.
