CVE-2007-5011
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 · uneditedwebbatch.exe in WebBatch allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via the dumpinputdata parameter.
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 confidenceThe webbatch.exe component in WebBatch contains an information disclosure vulnerability where the 'dumpinputdata' parameter, when supplied in an HTTP request, causes the application to dump sensitive information to the attacker. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to potentially access configuration data, session information, or other internal application data.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify WebBatch installation and versionLocate webbatch.exe on the system and check its version properties (right-click > Properties > Version tab) or check the program's About/Version info. Compare against affected version 2007c or earlier.Affected if The installed version is WebBatch 2007c or any version prior to it.
-
Confirm webbatch.exe is web-exposedCheck if webbatch.exe is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS from external sources. This typically involves reviewing web server configurations (IIS, Apache, etc.) or checking if the application is listening on any network interface.Affected if webbatch.exe is deployed on a web server and reachable via HTTP/HTTPS requests.
-
Test dumpinputdata parameter behaviorSend a crafted HTTP request to webbatch.exe with the 'dumpinputdata' parameter appended (e.g., http://target/webbatch.exe?dumpinputdata=1 or similar). Observe if sensitive data is returned in the response.Affected if The application returns configuration data, session information, or other internal application data in response to the dumpinputdata parameter.
-
Review web server logs for dumpinputdata usageExamine web server access logs (IIS logs, Apache access logs) for any requests containing 'dumpinputdata' parameter. Search for patterns like 'dumpinputdata' in query strings.Affected if Historical or current log entries show requests with the dumpinputdata parameter, indicating potential exploitation or probing.
A system is affected if WebBatch version 2007c or earlier is installed, webbatch.exe is web-accessible, and the dumpinputdata parameter reveals sensitive information when requested.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor patches if available, or disable/remove the dumpinputdata functionality in webbatch.exe. If the product is obsolete or unpatched, consider upgrading to a supported version or removing the affected component from production.
