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
SQL injection vulnerability in the authentication module in Convivance StandVoice 4.5 through 6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the GEST_LOGIN parameter.

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 the authentication module of Convivance StandVoice versions 4.5 through 6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the GEST_LOGIN parameter. The vulnerability is in the login functionality, indicating unsanitized user input is being passed directly to SQL queries.

MitigationApply vendor patches immediately. As an interim measure, disable remote access to the authentication module and implement web application firewall rules to block SQL injection attempts in the GEST_LOGIN parameter.

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 StandVoice version
    Locate the application binary or check the software inventory for Convivance StandVoice and note the exact version number installed in your environment
    Affected if The installed version falls within the range of 4.5 to 6.2 inclusive
  2. Verify authentication module is exposed
    Check network configuration to determine if the login endpoint handling the GEST_LOGIN parameter is accessible from remote network segments
    Affected if Remote network access to the authentication/login functionality is permitted
  3. Confirm SQL injection parameter is present
    Inspect the login form or API endpoint that processes the GEST_LOGIN parameter to confirm it exists and accepts user-supplied input
    Affected if The GEST_LOGIN parameter is present and accepts direct user input without apparent sanitization
  4. Check for recent authentication logs
    Review authentication logs for unusual SQL syntax patterns or anomalies in GEST_LOGIN parameter values that may indicate exploitation attempts
    Affected if Log analysis reveals SQL injection patterns or unexpected authentication behavior
  5. Assess web application firewall status
    Verify whether a WAF or input filtering solution is protecting the authentication endpoint
    Affected if No WAF or input validation layer is filtering SQL injection attempts in the GEST_LOGIN parameter

A defender is affected if StandVoice versions 4.5-6.2 is installed AND the authentication module is remotely accessible AND the GEST_LOGIN parameter lacks proper input sanitization or WAF protection.
