Summary

CVE-2023-31702 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Escanav Escan Management Console. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV 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.

CVE-2023-31702 is an SQL injection vulnerability in the View User Profile functionality of MicroWorld eScan Management Console version 14.0.1400.2281. The flaw exists in the GetUserCurrentPwd endpoint, where the UsrId parameter is not properly sanitized, enabling direct database interaction.

An authenticated remote attacker with administrative privileges can supply a crafted UsrId value to extract the full database contents and obtain a Windows command shell on the underlying database server, resulting in arbitrary code execution. The CVSS 7.2 score reflects network attack vector, low complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when the required high-privileged account is available.

Public references consist solely of exploit proof-of-concept disclosures on Packet Storm and GitHub; no vendor advisory or patch information is provided. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0835 with no material increase since publication.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

CA-8 Penetration Testing
addresses: CWE-89

Penetration testing uses SQL injection payloads against database interfaces, identifying and supporting fixes for SQL injection weaknesses.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-89

Validates query inputs to prevent SQL syntax or command manipulation.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

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
blocks

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.
