Description Preview

LMA ISIDA Retriever 5.2 contains an SQL Injection vulnerability that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database. This vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection) and could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data manipulation, or even complete system compromise.

Overview

The SQL Injection vulnerability in LMA ISIDA Retriever 5.2 occurs when the application fails to properly validate or sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code that can be executed by the database server. Successful exploitation could enable attackers to bypass authentication, access sensitive information stored in the database, modify database contents, or potentially execute commands on the underlying operating system depending on the database configuration.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, system administrators and users of LMA ISIDA Retriever should:

  1. Update to the latest version if a patched version is available from the vendor.
  2. Implement input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.
  3. Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application.
  4. Consider implementing a web application firewall (WAF) to filter potentially malicious requests.
  5. Monitor database logs for suspicious activities.
  6. Contact the vendor (ISIDA) for specific patch information or workarounds if available.
