Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Requires validation of user inputs to the login page, directly preventing time-based SQL injection payloads from being processed.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Mandates timely identification, reporting, and correction of flaws like the SQL injection vulnerability in the Dividend Distribution Tax Election System v2.0.

SC-7 Boundary Protection partial match

prevent

Enforces boundary protection mechanisms such as web application firewalls to monitor and block malicious SQL injection attempts at external interfaces.

NVD Description

A time-based SQL injection vulnerability in the login page of BoardRoom Limited Dividend Distribution Tax Election System Version v2.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted input.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-55460 is a time-based SQL injection vulnerability affecting the login page of BoardRoom Limited Dividend Distribution Tax Election System version v2.0. This flaw, classified under CWE-89, enables attackers to execute arbitrary code through specially crafted input. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), reflecting its high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and no requirements for privileges or user interaction.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by submitting malicious payloads to the login page, leveraging time-based blind SQL injection techniques to infer data and escalate to arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system, potentially allowing full control over the server hosting the Dividend Distribution Tax Election System.
