CVE-2024-51165
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in JEPAAS 7.2.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries through the dateVal parameter in the /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount endpoint. Successful exploitation could lead to complete database compromise, exposing all stored information including user credentials and sensitive business data. Organizations using JEPAAS 7.2.8 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- JEPAAS
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data exfiltration, credential theft, privilege escalation, and potential lateral movement within the network.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive data including user credentials, personal information, and business data stored in the database.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database access controls in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
The vulnerability requires no authentication and has publicly available proof-of-concept code, making exploitation straightforward for attackers.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Monitor JEPAAS vendor for official patch or advisory. 2. Apply patch immediately when available. 3. Test patch in non-production environment first.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side input validation to sanitize the dateVal parameter before processing.
Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for the loadLoginCount endpoint
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Add WAF rule: Block requests to /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount containing SQL keywords in dateVal parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to JEPAAS instances
- Deploy database monitoring to detect unusual SQL query patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the dateVal parameter (e.g., dateVal=2024-01-01' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check JEPAAS version in application interface or configuration files; default installation shows version in admin panel.Verify Fix Applied:
Retest with SQL injection payloads after implementing fixes; successful payloads should be rejected or sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in database logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns in parameters
- Requests to /je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount with suspicious dateVal values
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in URL parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND url_path="/je/rbac/rbac/loadLoginCount" AND (param="dateVal" AND value MATCHES "[';]|UNION|SELECT")
