Description Preview
An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the GetVisitors method of IDAttend's IDWeb application version 3.1.052 and earlier. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to extract or modify all data in the underlying database. The issue is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection), which occurs when user-supplied data is not properly validated before being used in SQL statements.
Overview
The vulnerability in IDAttend's IDWeb application allows malicious actors to inject SQL commands through the GetVisitors method without requiring authentication. This is particularly severe as it enables attackers to access, extract, or manipulate sensitive data stored in the application's database. SQL injection vulnerabilities occur when applications fail to properly sanitize user inputs before incorporating them into database queries, allowing attackers to modify the query's logic and access unauthorized data. In this case, the vulnerability could potentially lead to complete database compromise, including unauthorized access to personal information, credentials, or other sensitive data managed by the IDWeb application.
Remediation
Organizations using IDAttend's IDWeb application should:
- Update to a version newer than 3.1.052 if available
- If updates are not immediately available, consider implementing additional security controls:
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) to filter malicious requests
- Limit network access to the IDWeb application
- Implement input validation at the network perimeter
- Monitor database activity for suspicious queries
- Conduct a security assessment to determine if the vulnerability has been exploited
- Contact IDAttend support for specific patch information or additional mitigation guidance
- Follow secure coding practices for any custom implementations, including parameterized queries and proper input validation
