Who should care

Organizations running Cuantis applications; security teams responsible for web application security; database administrators; incident response teams monitoring for SQL injection exploitation patterns

Technical summary

The Cuantis application contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the /search.php endpoint where user-supplied input to the 'search' parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. This allows attackers to manipulate query structure to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication, over the network, with low attack complexity. Impact spans complete database compromise: unauthorized data access (C:H), data modification/deletion (I:H), and service disruption (A:H). The CVSS 4.0 vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N confirms these characteristics.

Defensive priority

critical

Recommended defensive actions

  • Apply vendor patches immediately if available; contact Cuantis vendor for security update status
  • Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions in /search.php
  • Apply input validation and sanitization on the 'search' parameter, rejecting SQL metacharacters
  • Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the search endpoint
  • Restrict database account privileges used by the application to least-privilege principles
  • Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring for suspicious database query patterns
  • Conduct code review of all database-interacting endpoints for similar injection vulnerabilities

Evidence notes

Vulnerability disclosed by INCIBE-CERT (Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute) with CWE-89 classification. CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network attack vector with no privileges required and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
