Description
The Open ISES Project 3.30A contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the frm_passwd parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to main.php with crafted SQL payloads to extract sensitive database information including usernames, database names, and version details.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Open ISES Project 3.30A has a SQL injection flaw in main.php that allows attackers to send POST requests containing a crafted SQL payload through the frm_passwd parameter. Because this input is not sanitized, unauthenticated users can execute arbitrary SQL commands, enabling them to read sensitive data such as usernames, database names, and version information. This weakness corresponds to CWE‑89, a classic example of an injection vulnerability that compromises data confidentiality.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Open ISES Project, specifically version 3.30A. No other affected versions are listed, and the vendor does not provide additional version information in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high likelihood of exploitation and significant impact. Although the EPSS score is not available, the lack of authentication requirement and the ability to craft HTTP POST requests to main.php suggest a straightforward attack path. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS and the absence of mitigation measures in the current release make it a priority for remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Open ISES Project to a version that resolves the SQL injection in main.php.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to main.php by applying network firewall rules that allow only trusted IP addresses or internal hosts.
  • Implement input validation or use parameterized queries for the frm_passwd field to eliminate the injection vector, following CWE‑89 best practices.
