CVE-2023-3377
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 · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Veribilim Software Computer Veribase allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Veribase: through 20231123. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceSQL Injection vulnerability in Veribilim Software Computer Veribase allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user inputs. The vulnerability affects all versions through 20231123. With a CVSS 9.8 rating, successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or potential remote code execution at the database level.

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 Veribase installation and versionLocate the Veribase application directory and check for version information in installation files, about pages, or version configuration files. Common locations include: installation manifests, config/version files, or the application header/footer pages.Affected if Veribase is installed and version is 20231123 or earlier (or version information cannot be determined but the software is present)
-
Inspect database query implementationsExamine the application's source code or configuration files that handle database operations. Look for files containing SQL query construction, particularly those that accept user input. Search for patterns like string concatenation or formatting used directly in SQL queries.Affected if Database query code uses direct string concatenation or formatting (e.g., 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=' + user_input) instead of parameterized queries or prepared statements
-
Review input handling in database pathsAudit all application entry points that interact with the database (search functions, login forms, filtering options, report generators). Trace how user-supplied data flows from HTTP requests to SQL queries without sanitization.Affected if User-controllable parameters (GET/POST requests, cookies, headers) are passed directly into SQL statements without using parameterized queries, input validation, or escaping functions
-
Check for web application firewall or input validationInspect the application's security configuration, middleware settings, or WAF rules that may provide input validation or SQL injection protection at the application or network layer.Affected if No input validation layer, WAF rules targeting SQL injection, or parameterized query framework is configured between user input and database operations
The environment is affected if Veribase software is present with version 20231123 or earlier AND database queries process user input through unsanitized string concatenation rather than parameterized queries.

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 to neutralize SQL injection vectors. Conduct comprehensive input validation and audit all database query paths in the application.
