AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, a classic SQL injection flaw (CWE‑89). An attacker with low privileges but remote access to the Dell Secure Connect Gateway can supply crafted input that is incorporated directly into an SQL query. This allows arbitrary SQL commands to be executed, potentially leading to database compromise and the injection of malicious scripts that can affect connected services.

Affected Systems

Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely exploited. Exploitation requires remote network access but does not require elevated privileges, making it accessible to attackers who can reach the gateway over the network. The impact would be limited to the database accessed by the gateway, but script injection could lead to broader compromise of downstream systems that rely on that data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply Dell’s Security Update that patches versions 5.36.00.16 for the appliance and 5.36.00.00 for the application to eliminate the SQL injection flaw
  • Restrict remote access to the Secure Connect Gateway by limiting connections to trusted IP ranges and enforcing strict authentication mechanisms
  • Implement input validation or parameterized queries in any custom code that interacts with the SCG database, and monitor logs for unauthorized SQL activity
