What it is
Input is pasted into a database query, so an attacker can rewrite the query to read or change data.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or change records in the data store behind the application.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. It can be exploited automatically, at scale.
What to do
- Upgrade cern-fts fts-monitoring to a fixed version for your release line (3.13.3, 3.14.1).
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
FTS3 Web Monitoring (fts-monitoring) versions 3.12.0 through 3.13.2 and 3.14.0 contain an unauthenticated sql injection vulnerability in the /linkinfo endpoint handled by get_linkinfo. Remote attackers can inject SQL through the source_se and dest_se query parameters to perform blind injection and read stored cloud storage credentials and token provider client secrets.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Services that build database or directory queries. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
- Databases. The flaw sits between the application and its data store.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between the application and its data store. An attacker who crosses it can read or change records in the data store behind the application.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does cern-fts fts-monitoring run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
