CVE-2024-5276-Vulnerability Details

The SQL Injection vulnerability, discovered on June 18, 2024, is classified under CWE-20 and CWE-89.

It indicates improper input validation and improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting its critical nature (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

This attack exploits target software that constructs SQL statements based on user input.

An attacker can craft input strings so that when the target software constructs SQL statements based on the input, the resulting SQL statement performs actions other than those the application intended.

This vulnerability results from the failure of the application to validate input appropriately.

Potential Impacts

This vulnerability’s likely impacts include creating administrative users and deleting or modifying data in the application database.

However, data exfiltration via SQL injection is not possible with this vulnerability.
