CVE-2005-4515

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

WebDB 1.1 and earlier contain an SQL injection vulnerability via unspecified search parameters (possibly Search0). The vendor disputes this, stating the code was added for a specific client and has been removed, with all clients receiving updates automatically.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data leakage, or modification. However, the risk is limited as the vendor claims the issue only affected a custom installation and has already been patched.

Recommendation

Ensure you are using the latest version of WebDB and that any custom code modifications have been removed. If in doubt, contact the vendor to confirm the security status.

Original NVD description (English source)

SQL injection vulnerability in WebDB 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified search parameters, possibly Search0. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this issue, saying that "WebDB is a generic online database system used by many of the clients of Lois Software. The flaw that was identified was some code that was added for a client to do some testing of his system and only certain safe commands were allowed. This code has now been removed and it is not now possible to use SQL queries as part of the query string. No installation or patch is required All clients use a common code library and have their own front end and databases and connections. So as soon as a change / upgrade / enhancement is made to the code, all users of the software begin to use the latest changes immediately." Since the issue appeared in a custom web site and no action is required on the part of customers, this issue should not be included in CVE
