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
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in gopeak MasterLab up to 3.3.10. This affects the function sqlInject of the file app/ctrl/framework/Feature.php of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument pwd leads to sql injection. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-249147.

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

SQL injection vulnerability in gopeak MasterLab's Feature.php file allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the 'pwd' parameter in HTTP POST requests to the sqlInject function. The lack of parameterized queries or proper input sanitization enables complete database compromise.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries to neutralize SQL injection vectors, validate and sanitize all user inputs, and upgrade to version 3.3.11 or later if a patched release is available.

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 MasterLab installation and version
    Locate the MasterLab application files and check the version declaration in the main configuration or version file (commonly version.php, composer.json, or a similar version indicator within the MasterLab installation directory).
    Affected if The installed version is 3.3.10 or lower.
  2. Locate the vulnerable Feature.php file
    Search for the Feature.php file within the MasterLab source code directory structure, typically found in the application or src folder.
    Affected if The Feature.php file exists in the MasterLab installation.
  3. Verify the sqlInject function exists
    Open Feature.php and search for the function definition 'function sqlInject' to confirm the vulnerable function is present in the codebase.
    Affected if The sqlInject function is defined in Feature.php.
  4. Confirm POST parameter handling for pwd
    Inspect the sqlInject function code to verify it processes a 'pwd' parameter from HTTP POST requests without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The function accepts the 'pwd' POST parameter and uses it directly in SQL queries without prepared statements or input validation.
  5. Check application accessibility
    Determine if the affected endpoint is accessible over the network by reviewing application routing and access controls.
    Affected if The sqlInject function is exposed via an accessible HTTP endpoint that accepts POST requests.

A user is affected if MasterLab version 3.3.10 or lower is installed, the Feature.php file with the sqlInject function exists, and the pwd parameter handling lacks parameterized queries.
