Summary

CVE-2023-4165 is a medium-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Tongda2000 Tongda Office Anywhere. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 4% 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.

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Tongda OA within the file general/system/seal_manage/iweboffice/delete_seal.php. The flaw stems from improper handling of the DELETE_STR parameter, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL statements. It was assigned CVE-2023-4165 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5 and is tracked under CWE-89. The vendor was notified prior to public disclosure but did not respond, and an upgrade to version 11.10 resolves the issue.

An authenticated attacker with local network access can supply a crafted DELETE_STR value to execute malicious SQL queries. Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized data access, modification, or limited impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected system. Public proof-of-concept code has been released, enabling straightforward reproduction by anyone with the required access level.

References indicate that upgrading the affected Tongda OA component to version 11.10 is the recommended mitigation. No other configuration changes or workarounds are described in the available advisories.

The EPSS score has reached 0.8867 with no lower baseline reported, and the public exploit disclosure increases the likelihood of attempted use against unpatched instances.

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.
