CVE-2023-27262
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 · uneditedUnauthenticated SQL injection in the GetAssignmentsDue method in IDAttend’s IDWeb application 3.1.052 and earlier allows extraction or modification of all data by unauthenticated attackers.
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 confidenceUnauthenticated SQL injection in the GetAssignmentsDue method of IDAttend IDWeb application versions 3.1.052 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without credentials, enabling complete extraction or modification of the database.

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 if IDAttend IDWeb is installedCheck your web servers for IDAttend IDWeb application. Look for web directories, services, or IIS/application pool entries containing 'IDWeb', 'IDAttend', or related naming. Also check installed programs list on Windows servers.Affected if IDAttend IDWeb application is found running in the environment
-
Determine the IDWeb versionLocate version information in the IDWeb application: check the about page in the web interface, DLL file version properties, config files, or registry entries for IDWeb. Compare the installed version to 3.1.052.Affected if The installed version is 3.1.052 or earlier
-
Check if GetAssignmentsDue method is exposedIdentify if the web application exposes the GetAssignmentsDue endpoint or API method. This is typically found in the IDWeb web services or API URLs. Look for endpoints that contain 'GetAssignmentsDue' or similar assignment-related web service paths.Affected if The GetAssignmentsDue method is accessible via web request without authentication
-
Verify SQL injection is possibleTest the GetAssignmentsDue endpoint with SQL injection payloads (e.g., single quotes, boolean-based payloads) in the expected parameter fields. Observe if the application returns SQL errors or behaves differently based on injected input.Affected if The application returns SQL database errors or exhibits unexpected behavior when special SQL characters are submitted to the GetAssignmentsDue method
The environment is affected if IDAttend IDWeb version 3.1.052 or earlier is installed and the GetAssignmentsDue web method is exposed and accepts unsanitized input.

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 dataApply vendor patch or upgrade to a version beyond 3.1.052; if no patch available, implement parameterized queries and input validation on the GetAssignmentsDue method.
