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 · unedited
A vulnerability has been found in seccome Ehoney and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /api/v1/attack/token. The manipulation of the argument Payload leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The identifier VDB-212413 was assigned to this vulnerability.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the /api/v1/attack/token endpoint of seccome Ehoney. The 'Payload' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries remotely.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements. Apply input validation and principle of least privilege to database accounts.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Ehoney is installed
    Check for Ehoney installation directories (e.g., /opt/ehoney, /home/user/ehoney) or run 'ps aux | grep ehoney' to see if the process is running
    Affected if Ehoney process is running or installation directory exists - all versions are affected
  2. Check Ehoney version
    Look for version file in installation directory or check pom.xml/build.gradle if source code is available
    Affected if Any version found confirms Ehoney is installed (note: all versions are affected)
  3. Verify API endpoint exposure
    Check network configuration files (e.g., application.yml, application.properties) for server.listen-port and any API route configurations. Attempt curl http://localhost:<port>/api/v1/attack/token to see if endpoint responds
    Affected if The /api/v1/attack/token endpoint returns any HTTP response (even 404/405 indicates it exists)
  4. Confirm database module is enabled
    Check configuration files (application.yml, application.properties) for database connection settings (spring.datasource.url, jdbc configs). Check if database driver is present in lib/ or dependencies.
    Affected if Database is configured and connected - the SQL injection requires a database to exploit

If Ehoney is installed and running with the /api/v1/attack/token endpoint exposed and a database configured, the environment is affected by CVE-2022-3731 since all versions are vulnerable.
