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
Keyfactor Command 10.5.x before 10.5.1 and 11.5.x before 11.5.1 allows SQL Injection which could result in code execution and escalation of privileges.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Keyfactor Command versions 10.5.x before 10.5.1 and 11.5.x before 11.5.1 allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially achieving code execution on the underlying database server and escalating privileges within the application.

MitigationUpgrade Keyfactor Command to version 10.5.1 or 11.5.1 or later to obtain the patched code that properly sanitizes SQL inputs.

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 installed Keyfactor Command version
    Check the Keyfactor Command web interface version banner (typically in the footer of the application), or query the service/API endpoint for version information, or inspect the installation directory for version manifest files
    Affected if The version displayed is 10.5.x or 11.5.x and is below 10.5.1 or 11.5.1 respectively
  2. Compare version against affected ranges
    Review the identified version number against the known affected ranges: 10.5.x (any version before 10.5.1) and 11.5.x (any version before 11.5.1)
    Affected if The installed version is 10.5.0 through 10.5.0.x, or 11.5.0 through 11.5.0.x, placing it before the patched releases
  3. Confirm Keyfactor Command product
    Verify that the application being checked is indeed Keyfactor Command and not another Keyfactor product, by reviewing the product name in the administration interface or license information
    Affected if The product is Keyfactor Command and the version falls within the affected ranges

If the installed Keyfactor Command version is 10.5.x before 10.5.1 or 11.5.x before 11.5.1, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Keyfactor Command to version 10.5.1 or 11.5.1 or later to obtain the patched code that properly sanitizes SQL inputs.

Recommended fix High confidence

Keyfactor Command 10.5.1 or later for 10.5.x line; Keyfactor Command 11.5.1 or later for 11.5.x line

  1. Identify the currently installed Keyfactor Command version by checking the application or system information
  2. If running Keyfactor Command 10.5.x, upgrade to version 10.5.1 or later
  3. If running Keyfactor Command 11.5.x, upgrade to version 11.5.1 or later
  4. After upgrading, verify the SQL injection vulnerability is remediated by confirming the fix is applied
  5. Test that core certificate management functionality continues to work as expected post-upgrade
