Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Hitachi Business Logic - Container (BLC) P-2443-9114 01-00 through 02-06 on Windows, and P-1M43-9111 01-01 through 02-00 on AIX, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unknown attack vectors in an unspecified input form.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in Hitachi Business Logic - Container (BLC) software versions P-2443-9114 (01-00 through 02-06 on Windows) and P-1M43-9111 (01-01 through 02-00 on AIX). Remote attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands through unspecified input forms that fail to properly validate or sanitize user-supplied data before including it in SQL queries.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and use parameterized queries (prepared statements) across all database interaction points in the affected BLC applications. Upgrade to patched versions if available from Hitachi.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Hitachi BLC installation
    Search the system for Hitachi Business Logic Container or BLC components. Check installation directories such as C:\Program Files\Hitachi\BLC on Windows or /opt/hitachi/blc on AIX. Look for executable files or services named 'blc' or 'BusinessLogicContainer'.
    Affected if Hitachi Business Logic Container software is found installed on the system.
  2. Determine the installed version on Windows
    If installed on Windows, check the version information of the BLC executables or check the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hitachi\BusinessLogicContainer for version keys. Look for version strings matching pattern P-2443-9114 with subversions 01-00 through 02-06.
    Affected if The installed version is P-2443-9114 with any subversion from 01-00 to 02-06 on Windows.
  3. Determine the installed version on AIX
    If installed on AIX, check the version using the lslpp command for Hitachi BLC packages or examine version files in /opt/hitachi/blc. Look for version strings matching pattern P-1M43-9111 with subversions 01-01 through 02-00.
    Affected if The installed version is P-1M43-9111 with any subversion from 01-01 to 02-00 on AIX.
  4. Confirm version 1.x or 2.x installation
    Verify if the installed software reports version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or 2.0.6 through the application's about dialog, version info, or command-line version flag.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or 2.0.6.
  5. Check if web input forms are accessible
    Since the SQL injection occurs through unspecified input forms, verify if the BLC web interface or any user-facing input endpoints are exposed. Check configuration files for web service bindings and network listeners.
    Affected if The BLC application has accessible web forms or input interfaces that accept user data.

The system is affected if Hitachi Business Logic Container versions P-2443-9114 (01-00 to 02-06 on Windows), P-1M43-9111 (01-01 to 02-00 on AIX), or versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or 2.0.6 are installed with exposed input forms.
