CWE ID Description
CWE-89 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.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can result in a total loss of confidentiality due to an unauthenticated SQL Injection attack. Such a loss of confidentiality can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of sensitive data and personal information.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an unauthenticated SQL Injection in the getDeviceScalings function. It occurs because special elements in a SQL SELECT command are not properly neutralized, allowing a low privileged remote attacker to exploit it.

As a result, the attacker can manipulate the SQL query to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is a total loss of confidentiality, meaning an attacker can access sensitive data without authorization.
