CVE-2023-40787
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 · uneditedIn SpringBlade V3.6.0 when executing SQL query, the parameters submitted by the user are not wrapped in quotation marks, which leads to SQL injection.
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 SpringBlade V3.6.0 where user-supplied parameters in SQL queries are not properly wrapped in quotation marks or parameterized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL syntax through user input fields.

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 SpringBlade installation versionCheck the deployed application's version by examining the pom.xml file, WAR/JAR manifest, or application.yml/properties file for a version field. If running from source, check the project version in the build configuration.Affected if The installed version is exactly 3.6.0
-
Locate dynamic SQL query constructionsSearch the codebase for SQL query strings built using string concatenation or string formatting (such as using + operator, String.format, or concatenation within loops) rather than PreparedStatement or ORM query builders.Affected if Dynamic SQL queries exist that concatenate user input directly into SQL strings without parameter binding
-
Identify user input entry points in SQL queriesReview controller and service layers where user-supplied parameters (from request parameters, path variables, or request bodies) are passed to database query methods. Trace the data flow from HTTP input to SQL execution.Affected if User-provided parameters from HTTP requests are passed directly to SQL query execution without sanitization or parameterization
-
Verify query execution methodExamine the data access layer code (DAO/Repository classes) to determine whether queries use PreparedStatement with parameter binding, JPA Repository methods with named parameters, or a framework query builder. Check if raw JDBC execute methods or statement objects are used with concatenated input.Affected if Queries execute using Statement.execute(), createStatement(), or similar methods with SQL strings that include user input
-
Check for ORM parameterization usageIf using an ORM (Hibernate, MyBatis, etc.), verify that query methods use named parameters (@Param), ? placeholders with proper setParameter calls, or the framework's Criteria/Query builder rather than building HQL/SQL strings from input.Affected if The ORM layer constructs queries by concatenating user input into HQL or native SQL strings instead of using parameter binding
You are affected if your SpringBlade installation is version 3.6.0 and your codebase contains dynamic SQL queries that directly incorporate user input without parameterized binding.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataReplace dynamic SQL query construction with parameterized queries (PreparedStatement) or use an ORM framework's query builder with proper parameter binding to ensure user input is treated as data rather than executable SQL code.
