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.

Executive Summary

This is a SQL Injection vulnerability in MetaGuru's HCM software. Authenticated remote attackers can inject malicious SQL commands through specific parameters, allowing them to access, modify, or delete sensitive database information.

Detection Guidance

Detecting SQL injection vulnerabilities typically involves monitoring database logs for unusual queries, using web application firewalls to inspect traffic, and employing vulnerability scanners. Check if your HCM version is below 7.5.3 (for HCM 7) or 8.1.7.1 (for HCM 8). Review application logs for suspicious SQL patterns or errors.

Impact Analysis

If you use MetaGuru HCM versions before 7.5.3 or 8.1.7.1, attackers could exploit this flaw to steal sensitive employee or company data, alter records, or disrupt operations. This may result in financial losses, reputational damage, or legal consequences depending on the data compromised.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR (data protection), HIPAA (healthcare data), or other regulations due to unauthorized data access or breaches. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update HCM to version 7.5.3 or later if using HCM 7, or to version 8.1.7.1 or later if using HCM 8. Ensure all authenticated remote access is restricted and monitor database activity for anomalies. Apply patches as soon as possible to prevent exploitation.
