What is CVE-2006-6289?
CVE-2006-6289 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 5 Dec 2006. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Woltlab Burning Board (wBB) Lite 1.0.2 does not properly unset variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the wbb_userid parameter to the top-level URI. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in wBB Lite.
