Vulnerability Note VU#368300

Hummingbird CyberDOCS vulnerable to SQL injection

Overview

Hummingbird CyberDOCS contains an SQL injection vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to execute SQL commands.

I. Description

Hummingbird CyberDOCS (Hummingbird DM) is a web-based enterprise document management solution that runs on Windows NT/2000 using SQL database technology. The login page (loginact.asp on IIS) does not properly filter user input, allowing a remote attacker to supply SQL commands that may be executed by the underlying database.

II. Impact

Depending on the configuration of the database system, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to execute operating system commands, modify databases, or determine system configuration information.

III. Solution

Upgrade

This vulnerability does not exist in CyberDOCS 3.9 or later. Hummingbird recommends that customers upgrade to the most recent version of CyberDOCS.

Limit SQL database user privileges

To limit the effects of a successful attack, configure SQL databases to run with limited user privileges.
