Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Microweber CMS 0.95 before 20141209 had a SQL injection flaw in category display handling. A remote attacker could manipulate the category parameter to run arbitrary SQL against the site database. This can threaten site content, user data, and application integrity if an affected version remains online.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation if Microweber is internet-facing or stores customer, account, or business-critical content. The flaw enables database-level impact, but urgency depends on whether the obsolete affected version is still deployed.
Technical view
The CVE describes SQL injection in Category.php, related to the $parent_id variable, triggered through the category parameter when displaying a category. Sources identify Microweber CMS 0.95 before 20141209 and a confirming GitHub commit. No CVSS, CWE, or affected CPE data is provided.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely on internet-facing Microweber CMS deployments running 0.95 before 20141209, especially where category pages are public. The source bundle does not provide CPEs or broader affected-version ranges.
Exploitation context
The CVE states remote attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands. The record is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not establish current active exploitation. A YouTube reference exists, but the bundle alone does not justify claiming exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
The public record is sparse: no CVSS vector, CWE mapping, CPE list, or vendor advisory text is included. Analysis should stay anchored to Microweber CMS 0.95 before 20141209 and the Category.php category-parameter SQL injection description.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Microweber to a version containing the 20141209 fix or a current supported release.
- Review the linked vendor commit and vendor guidance before applying manual code changes.
- Limit public access to affected category functionality until remediation is complete.
- Back up the database before maintenance and preserve logs for review.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether any deployed Microweber instance is version 0.95 before 20141209.
- Verify Category.php contains the vendor fix referenced by the GitHub commit.
- Review web logs for unusual category parameter activity on category pages.
- Check database integrity and unexpected administrative or content changes.
