CVE-2024-47189
📋 TL;DR
The Mitel MiCollab AWV component has an SQL injection vulnerability in its API interface that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This affects all MiCollab versions through 9.8 SP1 FP2 (9.8.1.201). Attackers could access user provisioning information and potentially manipulate the database.
💻 Affected Systems
- Mitel MiCollab
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise allowing data exfiltration, modification, or deletion; potential privilege escalation to system-level access.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to non-sensitive user provisioning information and limited database manipulation within the AWV component's database.
If Mitigated
Limited information disclosure if database permissions are properly restricted and input validation is enforced at other layers.
🎯 Exploit Status
Attack requires knowledge of specific details about the system but is unauthenticated with low complexity once details are known

🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check MiCollab version in administration interface - if version is 9.8.1.201 or earlier, system is vulnerableCheck Version:
Check via MiCollab web admin interface or consult system logs for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is above 9.8.1.201 and test AWV API functionality remains operational📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed API authentication attempts
- Suspicious API requests to AWV endpoints
Network Indicators:
- SQL syntax patterns in HTTP requests to MiCollab API
- Unusual database connection patterns from MiCollab server
SIEM Query:
source="*MiCollab*" AND ("SQL" OR "SELECT" OR "UNION" OR "INSERT" OR "DELETE") AND uri_path="*/api/*"
