CVE-2018-10595
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 vulnerability in ReadA version 1.1.0.2 and previous allows an authorized user with access to a privileged account on a BD Kiestra system (Kiestra TLA, Kiestra WCA, and InoqulA+ specimen processor) to issue SQL commands, which may result in loss or corruption of data.
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 confidenceA SQL command injection vulnerability in ReadA version 1.1.0.2 and earlier allows an authorized user with privileged account access on BD Kiestra systems (Kiestra TLA, Kiestra WCA, and InoqulA+ specimen processor) to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially causing data loss or corruption.

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.
-
Check ReadA versionIdentify the installed version of ReadA software on the system (check software inventory, installed programs, or application version information)Affected if ReadA version is 1.1.0.2 or earlier
-
Check Bd Database Manager versionIdentify the installed version of Bd Database Manager (check software inventory or application version information)Affected if Bd Database Manager version equals exactly 3.0.1.0
-
Check Bd Performa versionIdentify the installed version of Bd Performa (check software inventory or application version information)Affected if Bd Performa version is 3.0.0.0 or earlier
-
Confirm BD Kiestra system contextVerify if the system is a BD Kiestra model (specifically Kiestra TLA, Kiestra WCA, or InoqulA+ specimen processor)Affected if The system is a BD Kiestra TLA, WCA, or InoqulA+ specimen processor running the affected software
-
Check for privileged accountsReview user accounts on the system to determine if any accounts with elevated or privileged access existAffected if Privileged accounts are present on a BD Kiestra system running the affected ReadA, Bd Database Manager, or Bd Performa versions
You are affected if you have ReadA <= 1.1.0.2, Bd Database Manager 3.0.1.0, or Bd Performa <= 3.0.0.0 installed on a BD Kiestra system (Kiestra TLA, WCA, or InoqulA+) and privileged user accounts exist on that system.

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 dataUpdate ReadA to a version newer than 1.1.0.2 and review privileged account permissions to enforce least-privilege principles.
