Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2023-39796 is a SQL injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-89, that affects the miniform module in WBCE CMS version 1.6.0. The flaw resides in handling of the DB_RECORD_TABLE parameter and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible attack conditions with no required authentication or user interaction and full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted DB_RECORD_TABLE value to trigger the injection, enabling execution of arbitrary code on the affected system. The attack requires no privileges and can be launched directly over the network.
The referenced WBCE forum thread and GitHub release notes for version 1.6.1 indicate that the issue is addressed by upgrading to that patched release.
EPSS for the CVE currently stands at 0.7099 after reaching a peak of 0.7953 on 2026-03-07.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.
Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.
Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.
Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.
Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.
Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
