CVE-2015-0715
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 administrative web interface in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.0(0.98000.225) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors, aka Bug IDs CSCut33447 and CSCut33608.
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 Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrative web interface allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified input vectors. The vulnerability affects version 11.0(0.98000.225) and requires valid administrative credentials for exploitation.

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 the installed Cisco productAccess the administrative web interface or CLI and determine if the system is running Cisco Unity Connection. In the admin web interface, check the 'System' > 'About' page, or via CLI run 'show version' or 'utils system version'Affected if The system is NOT Cisco Unity Connection (this CVE does not apply to other Cisco products)
-
Check the exact version numberIn the admin web interface, navigate to System > About or use the CLI command 'utils system version' to retrieve the precise installed version. Compare the version string to 11.0(0.98000.225)Affected if The installed version is EXACTLY 11.0(0.98000.225) - other versions or patch levels are not affected by this specific CVE
-
Verify administrative web interface accessConfirm that the Cisco Unity Connection administrative web interface (typically on port 8443 or 443) is accessible from the network. Check if TCP ports for the admin interface are open and listeningAffected if The administrative web interface is accessible from untrusted networks - this increases exposure but exploitation still requires valid admin credentials
-
Confirm administrative account statusReview which administrative accounts exist and assess whether any are active. The vulnerability requires valid administrative credentials to exploit. Check for default or weak admin passwordsAffected if Valid administrative credentials are present and accessible - without valid admin credentials, the SQL injection cannot be exploited
A user is affected only if the system is Cisco Unity Connection AND the installed version is exactly 11.0(0.98000.225) AND valid administrative credentials can be obtained to access the admin web interface.

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 Cisco patches for bug IDs CSCut33447 and CSCut33608, or upgrade to a Cisco-supported patched version. Until patched, restrict administrative web interface access to trusted networks and personnel only.
