CVE-2019-15995
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 the web UI of Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries. The vulnerability exists because the web UI does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by entering malicious SQL statements in an affected field in the web UI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to remove the SQL database, which would require the reinstallation of the Connector VM.

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 Cisco DNA Spaces Connector installationLocate the Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector VM or application in your environment. Check for processes named 'dna-spaces' or 'connector' running on the host, or review installed software listings for Cisco DNA Spaces components.Affected if The Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector software is installed or running in the environment.
-
Determine installed versionAccess the Connector administrative interface or check the software version through the management console. Look for a version number in the web UI, about page, or system information panel.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 2.0 (e.g., 1.x.x, 1.9.x, etc.).
-
Verify web UI is accessibleAttempt to reach the Connector web interface via browser or HTTP client at the expected URL (typically https://<connector-host>/ or the configured management URL). Confirm the login page loads.Affected if The web UI is reachable and accepts authentication requests.
-
Confirm authentication is configuredCheck whether the web UI has active user accounts configured and whether login functionality is operational. Review authentication settings in the Connector configuration.Affected if The web UI has at least one valid user account enabled for authentication.
The environment is affected if Cisco DNA Spaces: Connector is installed with a version prior to 2.0 AND the web UI is accessible with authentication enabled.

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 data2.0
Apply the vendor patch/Software update from Cisco to address the input validation flaw. Until patched, limit web UI access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious SQL-like input patterns.
