CVE-2017-14851
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 · uneditedA SQL injection vulnerability exists in all Orpak SiteOmat versions prior to 2017-09-25. The vulnerability is in the login page, where the authentication validation process contains an insecure SELECT query. The attack allows for authentication bypass.

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 Orpak SiteOmat installationLocate the SiteOmat web interface by accessing the application's login page via browser or by checking network accessible services on common web ports (80, 443, 8080). Confirm the product is Orpak SiteOmat by checking the page title, header, or favicon.Affected if The system is running Orpak SiteOmat web interface accessible over the network.
-
Check installed SiteOmat versionAccess the SiteOmat administration interface or about page (typically found in system settings or by appending /about, /info, or /version to the web URL). Alternatively, check version information in the installation directory or system information panel if you have server access.Affected if The installed version is lower than 6.4.414.084.
-
Verify login page is exposedConfirm the SiteOmat login page (the authentication endpoint) is network-accessible. This is typically the default web root or a login path such as /login, /auth, or the root URL itself.Affected if The login page is directly accessible without additional network restrictions.
-
Confirm authentication uses vulnerable querySince this is a SQL injection in the authentication validation SELECT query, you would need to either review source code if available, or test by attempting a SQL injection payload in the username/password fields (e.g., entering a single quote or SQL meta-character).Affected if The login form accepts input and processes it through an unauthenticated SELECT query without parameterized statements.
You are affected if Orpak SiteOmat is running and the installed version is below 6.4.414.084 with the login page network-accessible.

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 · scoped6.4.414.084
Update to SiteOmat version 2017-09-25 or later which contains the vendor patch; ensure all authentication queries use parameterized/prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.
6.4.414.084 (released 2017-09-25 or later)
- 1. Contact Orpak/SiteOmat vendor to obtain the patched version 6.4.414.084 or later released after 2017-09-25
- 2. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
- 3. Back up the current SiteOmat database and configuration files
- 4. Apply the upgrade following Orpak's official upgrade documentation
- 5. Verify the login page is functioning correctly after upgrade
- 6. Test that the authentication mechanism is working as expected
- 7. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is remediated by attempting to reproduce the bypass (or use vulnerability scanning tool)
