CVE-2017-12930

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2017-12930 is an SQL injection vulnerability in TecnoVISION DLX Spot Player4's admin interface that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrator access. This affects all versions after 1.5.10 of the DLX Spot Player4 software. Attackers can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL queries through the password field.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • TecnoVISION DLX Spot Player4
Versions: Versions > 1.5.10
Operating Systems: Any OS running DLX Spot Player4
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the default admin interface configuration and requires no special setup to be exploitable.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete compromise of the system with administrative privileges, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, access/modify all data, and potentially achieve remote code execution.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized administrative access to the web interface, enabling configuration changes, data theft, and further system compromise.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation, web application firewalls, and input validation are implemented.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, making internet-facing instances extremely vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, unauthenticated attackers on the network can exploit this vulnerability.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: CONFIRMED
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public exploit code is available, making this trivial to exploit even for novice attackers.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No known vendor advisory

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Control

all

Restrict access to the admin interface using firewall rules or network segmentation

Web Application Firewall

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the affected system from untrusted networks
  • Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries if source code is available

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Attempt SQL injection in the password field of the admin login page using payloads like ' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check the software version in the admin interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test the same SQL injection attempts after implementing controls - they should be blocked or fail

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful admin login from unusual IPs

Network Indicators:

  • SQL injection patterns in HTTP POST requests to login endpoints

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (url_path="/admin/login" OR url_path="/login") AND (http_method="POST") AND (payload CONTAINS "' OR" OR payload CONTAINS "'--" OR payload CONTAINS "'#")
