Deeper analysis

A critical SQL injection vulnerability was discovered in ESAFENET CDG 5 within the deleteHook function of the file /com/esafenet/servlet/policy/HookService.java. The flaw arises from improper handling of the hookId parameter, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The issue is tracked as CVE-2024-10660 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 under CWE-89.

An authenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted hookId value to the affected endpoint and execute unauthorized database queries. Successful exploitation can result in data disclosure, modification, or limited disruption of the application's backend operations. Public exploit details have already been shared, enabling potential reuse by threat actors with valid credentials.

The EPSS score stands at 0.6689 with no material increase from a lower baseline. No official patches or mitigation guidance appear in the referenced advisories.
