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
Imageconverter API endpoints provided methods that were not sufficiently validating and sanitizing client input, allowing to inject arbitrary SQL statements. An attacker with access to the adjacent network and potentially API credentials, could read and modify database content which is accessible to the imageconverter SQL user account. None No publicly available exploits are known.

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 · moderate confidence

Imageconverter API endpoints fail to properly validate and sanitize client input, enabling SQL injection attacks. An attacker with adjacent network access and potentially API credentials can execute arbitrary SQL statements to read or modify database content accessible to the imageconverter SQL user account.

MitigationImplement proper input validation and use parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations. Apply least-privilege principles to database accounts.

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 Open Xchange Appsuite installation and version
    Locate the installed Open Xchange Appsuite version using your system package manager, configuration files, or administration interface. Common methods include checking /opt/open-xchange/etc/version, running 'rpm -q open-xchange-appsuite', or consulting the OX admin panel.
    Affected if The installed version is 7.10.6 or any version lower than 7.10.6 (e.g., 7.10.5, 7.10.4, etc.)
  2. Confirm imageconverter API is enabled
    Check the Open Xchange Appsuite configuration to determine whether the imageconverter API module or endpoints are active and accessible. Review middleware configuration files or the OX service list.
    Affected if The imageconverter API component is enabled and exposed in the Appsuite configuration
  3. Verify network accessibility of API endpoints
    Determine if the imageconverter API is reachable from adjacent network segments. Check firewall rules, network ACLs, and whether the API listens on internal or external interfaces.
    Affected if The imageconverter API is accessible from network segments beyond the local host, especially from untrusted adjacent networks

You are affected if Open Xchange Appsuite version is 7.10.6 or lower AND the imageconverter API is enabled and accessible from your network.

Interim mitigation

Implement proper input validation and use parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database operations. Apply least-privilege principles to database accounts.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Open Xchange Appsuite 7.10.6-revision or later / 7.10.7+

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Open Xchange Appsuite using the admin interface or system inventory
  2. 2. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
  3. 3. Back up the current installation, including database and configuration files
  4. 4. Upgrade Open Xchange Appsuite to version 7.10.6-revision or later (or 7.10.7+) which contains the fix for CVE-2023-29047
  5. 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
  6. 6. Test the imageconverter API functionality to ensure proper operation
  7. 7. Monitor logs for any SQL injection attempts or errors
Caveat Minor updates typically have minimal breaking changes; review release notes for any specific configuration or compatibility notes
