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 information disclosure.

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

Keyfactor Command versions 10.5.x before 10.5.1 and 11.5.x before 11.5.1 contain a SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated or authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through user-supplied input, potentially extracting sensitive data from the underlying database.

MitigationUpgrade Keyfactor Command to version 10.5.1 or 11.5.1 or later to apply the vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and web application firewall rules to mitigate SQL injection attempts.

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 the installed Keyfactor Command version
    Locate the Keyfactor Command installation directory and check the version file or use the Keyfactor Command management portal to view the server version information. Common paths include the installation log files or the About section in the admin console.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.5.0 or 11.5.0 (these are the vulnerable versions before the patches).
  2. Confirm user input fields are present
    Review the Keyfactor Command web interface for any search boxes, filter fields, or input forms that accept user-supplied text and interact with the backend database.
    Affected if User-supplied input fields exist and are used in database queries without proper parameterization.
  3. Examine application logs for SQL errors
    Access the Keyfactor Command logs directory and review recent log files for SQL syntax errors, database exceptions, or unusual error messages that may indicate SQL injection attempts.
    Affected if Logs contain SQL syntax errors or database exceptions with suspicious characters or patterns typical of SQL injection payloads.
  4. Review database query logs
    If database logging is enabled, review the database server logs for any unusual or unexpected SQL queries, especially those containing UNION statements, OR conditions, or comment syntax from the application server.
    Affected if Database logs show queries containing injected SQL syntax or queries that deviate from expected application behavior.

A user is affected if their Keyfactor Command installation is version 10.5.0 or 11.5.0 and the application accepts user input that flows to database queries.

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 apply the vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and web application firewall rules to mitigate SQL injection attempts.

Recommended fix High confidence

Keyfactor Command 10.5.1 or 11.5.1

  1. Identify the currently installed Keyfactor Command version using the administration console or system inventory
  2. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
  3. Back up the Keyfactor Command database and configuration files
  4. Download Keyfactor Command 10.5.1 (for 10.5.x installations) or 11.5.1 (for 11.5.x installations) from the Keyfactor customer portal
  5. Follow the official Keyfactor upgrade documentation to apply the update
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version in the administration console
  7. Test critical certificate lifecycle operations to confirm functionality
