CVE-2024-35148
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 · uneditedIBM Maximo Application Suite 8.10.10, 8.11.7, and 9.0 - Monitor Component is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SQL statements, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the Monitor Component of IBM Maximo Application Suite versions 8.10.10, 8.11.7, and 9.0 allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements via specially crafted input, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion in the back-end database.

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 Maximo Application Suite installationLocate the IBM Maximo Application Suite installation directory or check system inventory for Maximo instances. Look for installation paths such as /opt/ibm or C:\ibm\maximo, or query the system for processes named 'maximo' or 'ibm maximized'.Affected if IBM Maximo Application Suite is not installed on the system.
-
Determine installed Maximo versionAccess the Maximo login page and navigate to the About section, or check the version.properties file in the installation directory. Alternatively, query the Maximo database for the version information in the MAXIMO schema.Affected if The installed version matches exactly 8.10.10, 8.11.7, or 9.0.
-
Check if Monitor Component is enabledLog into Maximo Application Suite as an administrator and navigate to the Component list or Administration workspace. Look for the Monitor Component in the enabled components list, or check the maximo.properties or deployment configuration for 'Monitor' component settings.Affected if The Monitor Component is present and enabled in the Maximo Application Suite.
-
Review database logs for suspicious SQL activityAccess the back-end database logs (DB2, Oracle, or SQL Server depending on your deployment). Search for unexpected or unauthorized SQL statements, especially SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE commands that may indicate SQL injection attempts originating from the Maximo Monitor Component.Affected if Database logs show SQL statements containing malicious payloads or unexpected queries from the Monitor Component user account.
A system is affected if IBM Maximo Application Suite is installed with version 8.10.10, 8.11.7, or 9.0 and the Monitor Component is enabled, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary SQL via specially crafted input.
