Summary

CVE-2018-7841 is a critical-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Schneider-Electric U.Motion Builder. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 0.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Schneider Electric U.motion Builder software version 1.3.4. Identified as CWE-89, the flaw allows unwanted code execution when an improper set of characters is entered into the application.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 reflecting network attackability without authentication or user interaction and results in complete loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore achieve arbitrary code execution on the affected system.

Public disclosures reference Schneider Electric advisory SEVD-2019-071-02 along with technical details published on PacketStorm and Seclists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
