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 Navetti PricePoint installationLocate the Navetti PricePoint or Vendavo Pricepoint application in your environment. Check for the pricepoint application directory, service, or web application folder.Affected if Navetti PricePoint version 4.6.0.0 is installed and running
-
Determine installed versionInspect the application version information. Check the software's about page, version file, manifest, or the version string returned by the application. Compare your installed version to the affected range.Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.6.0.0
-
Assess network accessibilityDetermine if the PricePoint web interface is accessible over the network. Identify the listening port and URL path.Affected if The application is network-accessible and version 4.6.0.0 is confirmed
-
Identify SQL injection entry pointsReview the web application's input fields and parameters. Since the vulnerability is in unspecified functionality, document all user-facing input parameters.Affected if The application accepts user input and runs version 4.6.0.0
If your environment is running Navetti PricePoint or Vendavo Pricepoint version exactly 4.6.0.0, you are affected by this blind SQL injection vulnerability.
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 Navetti PricePoint 4.7.0.0 which contains the patched code. Prior to production deployment, validate the upgrade in a staging environment and confirm input validation is properly enforced across all user-facing fields.
4.7.0.0
- Backup the current Navetti PricePoint 4.6.0.0 installation and database before proceeding

- Review the vendor's upgrade documentation for PricePoint 4.7.0.0
- Test the upgrade in a non-production/staging environment first
- Apply the upgrade following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure
- Verify the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by testing the previously vulnerable functionality
- Deploy the updated version to production
