CVE-2022-48593
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 SQL injection vulnerability exists in the “topology data service” feature of the ScienceLogic SL1 that takes unsanitized user‐controlled input and passes it directly to a SQL query. This allows for the injection of arbitrary SQL before being executed against 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 · high confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in the topology data service of ScienceLogic SL1. The feature accepts user-controlled input and directly incorporates it into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary 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 ScienceLogic SL1 installed versionAccess the SL1 web interface and navigate to the Administration > System Settings > License or About page to view the installed version. Alternatively, access the system via SSH and run: rpm -q science-logic-core or check /opt/em7/var/versionAffected if version displayed is 11.1.2 or lower
-
Confirm topology data service is accessibleDetermine if the topology data service API endpoint is exposed. Check via web UI: navigate to Topology > Data Sources or verify the service is running via CLI: systemctl status em7_topology or ps aux | grep topologyAffected if topology data service is enabled and network-accessible
-
Verify SQL query handling in topology serviceExamine the topology data service configuration files for direct SQL query construction. Check files in /opt/em7/admin/ or /opt/em7/etc/ related to topology. Look for database query patterns that concatenate user input directly into SQL stringsAffected if configuration shows SQL queries built by concatenating user-controlled parameters without parameterized queries
-
Review network exposure of topology APICheck if the topology data service port (typically 443 or 7707) is exposed to untrusted networks. Run: netstat -tlnp | grep -E '7707|443' or review firewall rules: iptables -L -nAffected if topology service port is open to external or untrusted networks
User is affected if running ScienceLogic SL1 version 11.1.2 or earlier AND the topology data service is enabled and accessible on the network.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations in the topology data service, and add proper input validation and escaping for any user-supplied data before including it in SQL queries.
