CVE-2014-0821
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 the download feature in Cybozu Garoon 2.x through 2.5.4 and 3.x through 3.7 SP3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-6930 and CVE-2013-6931.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Cybozu Garoon's download feature allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unsanitized input. The flaw affects versions 2.x through 2.5.4 and 3.x through 3.7 SP3. This is a classic SQL injection where user-controlled data in the download function is not properly parameterized before being used in database queries.

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 Cybozu Garoon installed versionAccess the Garoon administration panel and navigate to System Settings > System Information, or inspect the version file typically located in the Garoon installation directory (such as version.ini or a config file in the base installation folder).Affected if The installed version falls within 2.x through 2.5.4, or 3.x through 3.7 SP3.
-
Verify download module is accessibleConfirm that the download feature (typically accessed via the /download/ endpoint or file attachment download functionality) is enabled in the Garoon system settings and accessible to users.Affected if The download module is enabled and accessible to authenticated users.
-
Check authentication configurationReview Garoon's authentication settings in the administration panel to determine if remote user authentication is enabled (allowing external users to log in to the system).Affected if Remote authenticated users can access the Garoon application.
-
Inspect download request parametersUse a web proxy or browser developer tools to capture a download request (such as downloading an attachment or file). Examine the request parameters to see if user-controlled input is passed directly to the server without obvious parameterization.Affected if The download function passes user-supplied input (such as file IDs, IDs, or other parameters) directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or prepared statements.
A system is affected if it runs Cybozu Garoon version 2.x through 2.5.4 or 3.x through 3.7 SP3, has the download feature enabled, and allows remote authenticated users to access the application.

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 for Cybozu Garoon to the latest supported version (beyond 3.7 SP3). If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the Garoon application to trusted users only and implement WAF rules to detect SQL injection patterns in requests.
