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
SQL injection vulnerability in the Web GUI in IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus before 7.3.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via "dynamic SQL parameters."

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 · high confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the Web GUI of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus versions prior to 7.3.0.4 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through dynamic SQL parameters in the web interface.

MitigationUpgrade IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus to version 7.3.0.4 or later, or apply the vendor-supplied patch for this vulnerability to remediate the SQL injection vector.

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 the installed IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus version
    Run the command 'nco_patchversion' or check the installation directory for a version file. On Linux/Unix, the version may be listed in $NCHOME/etc/omni.dat or via 'omniversion' utility if available.
    Affected if The installed version matches any of these: 7.1.0.0, 7.1.0.11, 7.1.0.12, 7.1.0.13, 7.2.0.0, 7.2.0.7, 7.2.0.8, 7.2.0.9, 7.2.0.10, 7.2.1.0, 7.2.1.5, or any version 7.2.1.10 or earlier.
  2. Confirm the Web GUI component is running
    Check if the Web GUI process (nco_gui or similar) is active. Look for Java processes related to the GUI, or check if port 8080 (default HTTP) or port 443 (default HTTPS) is listening using 'netstat -an | grep -E "(8080|443)"' or 'ss -tlnp | grep -E "(8080|443)"'
    Affected if The Web GUI service is exposed and listening on network ports accessible to remote attackers.
  3. Verify the patch level if version appears in the 7.3.x range
    Even if running 7.3.x, verify the exact patch level. Check the patch status via 'nco_patchversion' output or look for files in $NCHOME/patch directory indicating whether patch 7.3.0.4 has been applied.
    Affected if Running version 7.3.0.0 through 7.3.0.3 without the 7.3.0.4 patch applied.

You are affected if the Web GUI is exposed and the installed version is 7.2.1.10 or earlier, or any of the specific affected versions listed, or 7.3.0.0-7.3.0.3 without the 7.3.0.4 patch.
