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.

Users of these versions are strongly advised to update their systems to the latest version to mitigate the risk.

Fortra has yet to release an official patch, but users should monitor the vendor’s advisories for updates.

The release of the PoC exploit for this critical SQL Injection vulnerability underscores the importance of timely updates and robust security practices.

Organizations using FileCatalyst Workflow should act swiftly to secure their systems against potential exploitation.
