CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Invision Power Board (IPB) 1.x and 2.x allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) idcat and (2) code parameters in a ketqua action in index.php; the id parameter in a (3) Attach and (4) ref action in index.php; the CODE parameter in a (5) Profile, (6) Login, and (7) Help action in index.php; and the (8) member_id parameter in coins_list.php. NOTE: the developer has disputed this issue, stating that the "CODE attribute is never present in an SQL query" and the "'ketqua' [action] and file 'coin_list.php' are not standard IPB 2.x features". It is unknown whether these vectors are associated with an independent module or modification of IPB

Technical Analysis

CVE-2006-3543 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2006-3543. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
