Vendor Advisory: Not provided in references
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Identify current evasys version. 2. Download and install evasys 8.2 Build 2286 or later if on 8.x, or evasys 9.0 Build 2401 or later if on 9.x. 3. Restart the evasys application/service. 4. Verify the update was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side validation to sanitize the 'welche' parameter before processing.
Web Application Firewall Rules
allConfigure WAF to block SQL injection patterns targeting the Logbuch endpoint.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the 'welche' parameter in Logbuch functionality.
- Restrict database account permissions to least privilege, ensuring the application database user cannot execute dangerous operations.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check evasys version in administration interface or configuration files. If version is before 8.2 Build 2286 (for 8.x) or before 9.0 Build 2401 (for 9.x), the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check evasys web interface administration panel or configuration files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm evasys version is 8.2 Build 2286 or later (for 8.x) or 9.0 Build 2401 or later (for 9.x). Test the Logbuch functionality with SQL injection attempts to ensure they are blocked.📡 Detection & Monitoring
