Description

NMIS/BioDose V22.02 and previous versions rely on a common SQL Server user account to access data in the database. User access in the client application is restricted by a password authentication check in the client software but the underlying database connection always has access. The latest version of NMIS/BioDose introduces an option to use Windows user authentication with the database, which would restrict this database connection.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in NMIS/BioDose V22.02 and earlier versions arises because the software uses a common SQL Server user account for database access. Although the client application restricts user access via password authentication, the database connection itself always has access using this shared account. This means that users could potentially bypass client-side restrictions and access or manipulate data directly through the database connection. The latest version introduces an option to use Windows user authentication to restrict database access more securely.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database because the shared SQL Server account bypasses client-side authentication controls. An attacker or unauthorized user with access to the client application could exploit this to read, modify, or delete data, potentially causing data breaches, data integrity issues, and operational disruptions.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade to the latest version of NMIS/BioDose which introduces an option to use Windows user authentication with the database. This restricts the database connection and reduces the risk associated with the common SQL Server user account access.
