Related Weaknesses

CWE-ID	Weakness Name	Source
CWE-89	Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

>> Authenticated blind SQL injection in Password Manager Pro / Pro MSP >> Discovered by Pedro Ribeiro (pedrib@gmail.com), Agile Information Security ========================================================================== Disclosure: 08/11/2014 / Last updated: 08/11/2014 >> Background on the affected products: "Password Manager Pro (PMP) is a secure vault for storing and managing shared sensitive information such as passwords, documents and digital identities of enterprises." >> Technical details: PMP has a SQL injection vulnerability in its search function. A valid user account is required to exploit the injection, however a low privileged guest account is enough. The application uses different database backends by default depending on its version: versions < 6.8 use the MySQL backend and versions >= 6.8 use PostgreSQL. Single quotes are escaped with backslashes at the injection point, but this can be somewhat avoided by double escaping the slashes (\\'). In addition, injected strings are all modified to uppercase. These two unintended "protections" make it difficult to exploit the injection to achieve remote code execution. However the injection can be abused in creative ways - for example to escalate the current user privileges to "Super Administrator", which has access to all the passwords in the system in unencrypted format. This can be achieved by injecting the following queries: "update AaaAuthorizedRole set role_id=1 where account_id=<userId>;insert into ptrx_superadmin values (<userId>,true);". A Metasploit module has been released that creates a new "Super Administrator" account and exports PMP's password database in CSV format. All passwords are exported unencrypted.
