CVE-2018-7766
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 · uneditedThe vulnerability exists within processing of track_getdata.php in Schneider Electric U.motion Builder software versions prior to v1.3.4. The underlying SQLite database query is subject to SQL injection on the id input parameter.
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 the id parameter of track_getdata.php in Schneider Electric U.motion Builder versions prior to v1.3.4. The id parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in an SQLite database query, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands.

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 if U.motion Builder is installedLocate the U.motion Builder installation directory on the system, typically found in the web server root or application directory where Schneider Electric software is deployed.Affected if The software is not installed on the system.
-
Determine the installed version of U.motion BuilderCheck the version information for U.motion Builder - this may be visible in the application interface, an about page, or in installation metadata files. Compare the found version against v1.3.4.Affected if The installed version is prior to 1.3.4.
-
Locate the track_getdata.php fileSearch for the track_getdata.php script within the U.motion Builder installation directory or web root.Affected if The file exists and is present in the installation.
-
Verify web exposure of the applicationDetermine if the U.motion Builder web interface is accessible over the network by checking the web server configuration and network accessibility of the service.Affected if The application is reachable remotely via HTTP/HTTPS.
A system is affected if U.motion Builder is installed with a version prior to 1.3.4, the track_getdata.php file exists, and the web interface is network-accessible, allowing remote injection of SQL commands through the id parameter.

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 data1.3.4
Upgrade to U.motion Builder v1.3.4 or later to patch the SQL injection vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement input validation and parameterized queries as an interim control.
