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
Zohocorp ManageEngine ADManager Plus versions 7241 and prior are vulnerable to SQL Injection in Archived Audit Report.

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 the Archived Audit Report feature of ManageEngine ADManager Plus versions 7241 and prior allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unsanitized input parameters, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, or arbitrary code execution.

MitigationUpgrade to a version newer than 7241 when available; alternatively, implement input validation and parameterized queries in the Archived Audit Report functionality to remediate the injection point.

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. Confirm ADManager Plus installation and locate product
    Search for ManageEngine ADManager Plus installation directories or check for running processes named 'ADManager Plus' or similar service executables
    Affected if The product is installed on the system
  2. Determine installed product version
    Access the product's About or Version section in the web interface, or check version files in the installation directory
    Affected if The installed version is 7241 or any version below 7.2 (including 7.0, 6.x, etc.)
  3. Identify if Archived Audit Report feature is present
    Navigate through the product web interface to locate the Archived Audit Report functionality under the Reports or Audit sections
    Affected if The Archived Audit Report feature is accessible in the installation
  4. Verify authentication mechanisms
    Check if user authentication is enabled and valid user accounts exist in ADManager Plus under the Admin or Users section
    Affected if Authenticated users or admin accounts can access the system (prerequisite for exploitation)
  5. Inspect Archived Audit Report input parameters
    Access the Archived Audit Report feature and examine the request parameters when generating or filtering reports - look for unsanitized fields accepting user input
    Affected if The feature accepts user-supplied input in parameters that could be manipulated for SQL injection

A user is affected if ADManager Plus version 7241 or below is installed AND the Archived Audit Report feature is accessible to authenticated users with input fields that are not validated.
