CVE-2012-4570
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 · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in LetoDMS_Core/Core/inc.ClassDMS.php in LetoDMS (formerly MyDMS) before 3.3.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in LetoDMS (formerly MyDMS) Core inc.ClassDMS.php affecting versions prior to 3.3.8. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through unspecified input vectors, potentially enabling complete database compromise, data exfiltration, or further system access.

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.
-
Identify LetoDMS versionCheck the version file or header typically included in the LetoDMS installation. Common locations include a version.php file, the installer info, or the application footer/admin panel which often displays the software version.Affected if The installed version is 3.3.7 or any version prior to 3.3.8 (e.g., 3.3.6, 3.3.5, etc.)
-
Verify vulnerable file existsLocate the file inc.ClassDMS.php in the LetoDMS installation directory. This file is the component containing the SQL injection vulnerability.Affected if The file inc.ClassDMS.php exists in the installation and the version is <= 3.3.7
-
Confirm application is accessibleVerify the LetoDMS web application is accessible and processing requests. SQL injection requires the vulnerable code to execute within the application context.Affected if The LetoDMS application is accessible and running with a version <= 3.3.7
A user is affected if LetoDMS version 3.3.7 or earlier is installed and the application is accessible, as this version contains the SQL injection vulnerability in inc.ClassDMS.php.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to LetoDMS version 3.3.8 or later which contains the security patch for this SQL injection vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the application and implement WAF rules as a temporary compensating control.
LetoDMS 3.3.8 or later
- 1. Create a complete backup of the LetoDMS database and application files before proceeding.
- 2. Download LetoDMS version 3.3.8 or later from the official SourceForge repository.
- 3. If running a standard installation, replace the application files with the new version, preserving any custom configurations.
- 4. Specifically ensure the LetoDMS_Core/Core/inc.ClassDMS.php file is updated to the fixed version.
- 5. Verify database schema compatibility and run any provided upgrade scripts.
- 6. Test the application functionality to ensure normal operations work correctly.
- 7. Verify the fix by checking that the SQL injection vulnerability is no longer present in the updated inc.ClassDMS.php file.
