CVE-2021-36328
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 · uneditedDell EMC Streaming Data Platform versions before 1.3 contain a SQL Injection Vulnerability. A remote malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute SQL commands to perform unauthorized actions and retrieve sensitive information from the database.
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 · moderate confidenceDell EMC Streaming Data Platform versions before 1.3 contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by injecting malicious SQL syntax through user-supplied input. This can lead to unauthorized database operations and sensitive data exfiltration.

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 Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform is installedCheck for the presence of Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform by reviewing installed software, looking for process names related to 'streaming', 'Dell', or 'EMC', or checking for service entries with these terms in the system service listAffected if The product is found running on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Dell EMC Streaming Data PlatformUse the product's administrative interface, check the installed packages, or query the system for the software version. Common methods include checking /opt, /usr/local, or other installation directories for version files, or using the product's CLI tools if availableAffected if The version returned is less than 1.3 or cannot be determined (treat unknown versions as potentially vulnerable)
-
Identify user input entry points that interact with the databaseReview application configuration files, web service endpoints, or API configurations that accept user input and pass it to database queries. Look for forms, API parameters, or search fields that may use unsanitized input in SQL queriesAffected if User input fields or parameters exist that are not using parameterized queries or input validation for database interactions
-
Check for SQL injection mitigation configurationsReview database configuration settings, application configuration files, and web server logs for any evidence of input validation, parameterized query enforcement, or SQL injection protection mechanismsAffected if No parameterized query implementation or input validation is found for user-facing database interactions
The system is affected if Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform is installed with a version lower than 1.3 and user-supplied input can reach database queries without sanitization or prepared statements.

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 · scoped1.3
Upgrade to Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform version 1.3 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database interactions to neutralize injection vectors.
1.3
- Upgrade Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform to version 1.3 or later to remediate the SQL Injection vulnerability
- Consult Dell EMC documentation for the specific upgrade procedure for your deployment model
- After upgrade, verify the version is 1.3 or later
