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 SQL injection vulnerability exists in the “ticket event report” 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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in ScienceLogic SL1's 'ticket event report' feature where user-controlled input is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands.

MitigationFix by replacing direct SQL string concatenation with parameterized queries (prepared statements) and implementing proper input validation on all user-supplied data before database operations.

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 ScienceLogic SL1 version
    Access the ScienceLogic admin interface or check system information panel to find the current SL1 version number
    Affected if The installed version is 11.1.2 or any lower version (11.x.y where y < 2, or any 10.x version)
  2. Verify ticket event report feature access
    Navigate to the ticket event report feature in the SL1 web interface or check feature availability through the admin dashboard
    Affected if The ticket event report feature is accessible and enabled in the system
  3. Locate ticket event report handler
    Inspect the web application files on the SL1 server, looking for scripts or modules that handle the ticket event report functionality
    Affected if A handler file exists that processes ticket event report requests and contains SQL query logic
  4. Check for direct SQL concatenation in report code
    Examine the ticket event report handler code for SQL query construction patterns, specifically looking for string concatenation or lack of parameterized queries with user input
    Affected if User-supplied parameters from the ticket event report are directly concatenated into SQL strings without sanitization or binding
  5. Review database user privileges
    Check the database user account used by the SL1 application for the ticket event report feature
    Affected if The application database user has elevated privileges (such as DDL or administrative rights) beyond what is required for read operations

A system is affected if it runs ScienceLogic SL1 version 11.1.2 or lower AND has the ticket event report feature enabled, with the vulnerable code pattern of direct SQL string concatenation present.
