How to fix

  • Fixed in: VCO 5.2.3.18 and later in the 5.2 train, VCO 6.1.3.10 and later in the 6.1 train, VCO 6.4.2.12 and later in the 6.4 train

Restrict access to the VCO web interface to trusted administrative networks, monitor for access from known malicious IPs (74.82.197.86, 38.54.50.151), monitor for unexpected outbound network activity and unauthorized administrator changes, and block outbound ports not needed for normal operations.

Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in VCO on-premises allows any authenticated user with minimal privileges (Enterprise Read Only role or higher) to gain operator-level privileges and impersonate a superuser operator through the VCO web interface. The attack requires network access to the VCO web portal and a valid authenticated session; no additional user interaction is needed. This grants access to internal functionality not intended for remote access and can lead to full system compromise.
