Contact ESAFENET vendor for official patch. Apply vendor-provided security update when available.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement strict input validation for hookId parameter to reject SQL injection patterns
Not applicable - requires code modification
WAF Rule
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the HookService endpoint
WAF-specific configuration required
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to ESAFENET CDG 5 systems
- Deploy database monitoring to detect unusual SQL query patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /com/esafenet/servlet/policy/HookService endpoint with SQL injection payloads in hookId parameterCheck Version:
Check ESAFENET CDG 5 version through administrative interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify parameterized queries are used in deleteHook function and input validation is implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed deleteHook requests with SQL patterns
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to HookService with SQL injection patterns in parameters
