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 Logpoint before 7.1.1. Template injection was seen in the search template. The search template uses jinja templating for generating dynamic data. This could be abused to achieve code execution. Any user with access to create a search template can leverage this to execute code as the loginspect user.

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

Logpoint before 7.1.1 contains a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in the search template feature. The application uses Jinja templating to generate dynamic data without proper input sanitization, allowing authenticated users with search template creation privileges to escape the template context and execute arbitrary code as the loginspect user.

MitigationUpgrade to Logpoint 7.1.1 or later. Until then, restrict search template creation privileges to only trusted administrators and monitor for suspicious template content.

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. Determine installed Logpoint Siem version
    Access the Logpoint administration interface and navigate to System > About, or run the command 'lpctl version' from the Logpoint server shell to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The version is lower than 7.1.1 (for example, 7.0.0, 6.x, or any version below 7.1.1)
  2. Verify search template feature accessibility
    Log into Logpoint as a regular user and navigate to the Search Templates section in the UI, or check if the /api/search-template endpoint is accessible via API
    Affected if The search template feature is available and accessible to the user account being tested
  3. Identify users with search template creation privileges
    In Logpoint admin UI, go to Users > Roles and examine role permissions, or query the user configuration for any role containing 'template' or 'search_template' creation rights
    Affected if Any user account other than fully trusted administrators has permission to create or modify search templates
  4. Audit existing search templates for injection payloads
    Export all search templates via Logpoint API (GET /api/search-template) or manually review each template in the UI, looking for Jinja2 syntax like {{, }}, {%, or base64/encoded strings that may indicate code execution attempts
    Affected if Any search template contains unusual Jinja2 expressions, code-like syntax, or suspicious variable references not originating from your organization
  5. Review logs for suspicious template-related activity
    Search Logpoint's internal logs (using Logpoint itself) for events containing 'search-template', 'template', or 'jinja' around the time of potential exploitation, and check for commands executed by the 'loginspect' user
    Affected if Logs show template creation/modification with code-like content, or unexpected command execution by the loginspect user

You are affected if your Logpoint Siem version is below 7.1.1 AND any user (even low-privilege) has access to the search template feature with creation privileges, or if you detect modified templates or suspicious activity in logs.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 7.1.1 or later
Fixed in 7.1.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Logpoint 7.1.1 or later. Until then, restrict search template creation privileges to only trusted administrators and monitor for suspicious template content.

Recommended fix High confidence

Logpoint SIEM 7.1.1 or later

  1. Backup all Logpoint configurations, custom searches, and templates before proceeding with the upgrade.
  2. Review Logpoint upgrade documentation at servicedesk.logpoint.com for your specific deployment type.
  3. Schedule a maintenance window as upgrades may require system downtime.
  4. Upgrade the Logpoint SIEM installation to version 7.1.1 or later.
  5. After upgrade, verify the search template functionality is working correctly.
  6. Audit user permissions and restrict who can create or modify search templates to only necessary personnel.
  7. Verify the fix by confirming Jinja template rendering is sandboxed and no longer allows arbitrary code execution.
