Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists within the NVBUDashboard component of Quest NetVault Backup during the processing of JSON-RPC messages. The root cause is a failure to properly validate user-supplied strings before they are used to construct SQL queries. While the vulnerability technically requires authentication (PR:L), the advisory notes that the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed, effectively allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit the flaw. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary code execution in the security context of the NETWORK SERVICE account. The issue was addressed in version 14.0.2.
