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
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in E1 Informatics Web Application allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Web Application: through 20250916.  NOTE: The vendor did not inform about the completion of the fixing process within the specified time. The CVE will be updated when new information becomes available.

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 E1 Informatics Web Application allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input. The vulnerability affects the web application through version 20250916.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions. Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using them in SQL queries. Apply vendor patches when 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 E1 Informatics Web Application installation
    Locate the application binaries, configuration files, or web interface. Check for files named 'e1', 'e1informatics', or check the web server's deployed applications list.
    Affected if The application is E1 Informatics Web Application and version cannot be determined or is <= 20250916
  2. Determine installed version
    Check application version through: 1) Login to the web interface and view the 'About' or 'System Information' page, 2) Check version files in the application directory (such as version.txt, VERSION, or build.info), 3) Query the application's database or admin panel for version information.
    Affected if The installed version is 20250916 or earlier, or the version cannot be verified and the application is confirmed as E1 Informatics Web Application
  3. Inspect database configuration for input handling
    Examine database configuration files (such as dbconfig.xml, database.yml, or connection strings) in the application directory. Look for patterns indicating dynamic SQL query construction versus parameterized queries.
    Affected if The application uses string concatenation or unsanitized string formatting to build SQL queries with user-supplied input
  4. Check for unsanitized user input in SQL code
    Review application source code, stored procedures, or configuration files for SQL query patterns. Look for code sections that accept user parameters and directly insert them into SQL statements without using prepared statements, parameterized queries, or input sanitization functions.
    Affected if Code or configuration files show user input being directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or parameter binding
  5. Review application logs for SQL injection attempts
    Examine web application logs, database audit logs, or security event logs for suspicious SQL patterns. Search for common SQL injection payloads (such as 'UNION SELECT', '1=1', '; DROP, or common SQL functions in user-supplied fields).
    Affected if Logs contain SQL injection signatures or abnormal SQL query patterns originating from user input fields

The environment is affected if E1 Informatics Web Application version 20250916 or earlier is installed AND the application processes user input in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.
