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
An issue was discovered in Archibus Web Central 2022.03.01.107. A service exposed by the application accepts a user-controlled parameter that is used to create an SQL query. It causes this service to be prone to SQL injection.

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

Archibus Web Central 2022.03.01.107 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in a service endpoint that directly incorporates user-supplied parameters into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious SQL syntax through the affected parameter, potentially allowing unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or manipulation.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries to separate SQL logic from user input, apply input validation and output encoding, and apply any vendor-supplied security patches. If no patch is available, consider deploying a WAF as a temporary compensating control.

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 installed Archibus Web Central version
    Locate and inspect the application version information. This is typically found in the product's about page, header/footer of the web interface, or in configuration/property files within the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 2022.03.01.107 (the only affected version)
  2. Confirm web application is running and accessible
    Access the Archibus Web Central login page or main interface via HTTP/HTTPS to verify the application is operational.
    Affected if The application is accessible over the network and responds to requests
  3. Determine if service endpoints are exposed
    Review network configuration or firewall rules to confirm whether the Archibus web services are exposed to the network or internet.
    Affected if Service endpoints are accessible from untrusted networks without proper network segmentation
  4. Review application logs for suspicious SQL patterns
    Examine Archibus server logs, web server logs, and database logs for unusual SQL syntax, error messages containing SQL keywords, or repeated database errors that may indicate injection attempts.
    Affected if Logs contain SQL error messages, unusual query patterns, or evidence of injection testing

You are affected if your installed Archibus Web Central version is exactly 2022.03.01.107 and the application is accessible.
