Technical details

An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the _mb24confi_getDevice function of MB connect line mbCONNECT24 and mymbCONNECT24 firmware versions up to and including 2.20.0. The root cause is the improper neutralization of special elements within a SQL SELECT command. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this over the network without any user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information from the database. Users are advised to contact the vendor for patching information as multiple related SQLi vulnerabilities were disclosed in the same advisory.
