| 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. |

How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to read, modify, or delete database contents due to SQL injection in Open ISES Tickets before version 3.44.2.
Such unauthorized access and potential data manipulation can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access and alteration.
Therefore, if exploited, this vulnerability could compromise compliance with these standards by exposing or altering protected data.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-48237 is a SQL injection vulnerability found in Open ISES Tickets versions before 3.44.2. It occurs in the message.php file where the frm_ticket_id and frm_resp_id POST parameters are directly concatenated into SQL WHERE clauses without proper sanitization. This improper handling allows authenticated attackers to manipulate the SQL queries, potentially altering their behavior.
By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers can read, modify, or delete data in the database by crafting malicious requests that change the intended SQL commands.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of database contents, and deletion of important information. Since attackers can alter SQL queries, they might extract confidential information, corrupt data integrity, or disrupt normal application operations.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update Open ISES Tickets to version 3.44.2 or later, where the SQL injection issue in message.php has been fixed.
