Description

Nokia Broadcast Message Center through 11.1.0 allows an authenticated user to perform a Boolean Blind SQL Injection attack on the endpoint /owui/block/send-receive-updates (for the Manage Alerts page) via the extIdentifier HTTP POST parameter. This allows an attacker to obtain the database user, database name, and database version information, and potentially database data.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')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.
