NVD · uneditedManageEngine ADAudit Plus versions 7270 and below are vulnerable to the Authenticated SQL injection in File-Summary DrillDown. This issue has been fixed and released in version 7271.
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 confidenceManageEngine ADAudit Plus versions 7270 and below contain an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the File-Summary DrillDown feature. An attacker with valid credentials can inject malicious SQL queries through this component to manipulate database operations, potentially exfiltrating sensitive data or compromising the underlying database.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 the installed ADAudit Plus versionAccess the ADAudit Plus admin console and navigate to the About or Version section, typically found under the Help menu or the dashboard footer. Alternatively, check the build number in the installation directory or the product release notes.Affected if The installed version is 7270 or below, or reports as version 7.2 (which corresponds to build 7270). Versions 7271 and later are not affected.
-
Confirm the File-Summary DrillDown feature is accessibleLocate the File-Summary DrillDown feature within the ADAudit Plus interface, usually under the File Audit or Reports section. Verify whether this module is loaded and accessible to users.Affected if The File-Summary DrillDown feature exists and is enabled in the ADAudit Plus installation.
-
Verify user authentication is configuredCheck that ADAudit Plus has user accounts configured and that authentication mechanisms (local users, Active Directory integration, or other auth sources) are active.Affected if The instance accepts user logins, as the SQL injection requires valid credentials to exploit the File-Summary DrillDown component.
-
Inspect network exposure of the ADAudit Plus portalDetermine whether the ADAudit Plus web interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the public internet by reviewing firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, or VPN access policies.Affected if The ADAudit Plus portal is exposed to untrusted networks, increasing the risk of credential-based attacks including this SQL injection.
You are affected if ADAudit Plus is running version 7270 or below (or version 7.2), the File-Summary DrillDown feature is enabled, and the instance is accessible to users with valid credentials.
