CVE-2024-55517
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in the Interllect Core Search in Polaris FT Intellect Core Banking 9.5. Input passed through the groupType parameter in /SCGController is mishandled before being used in SQL queries, allowing SQL injection in an authenticated session.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Polaris FT Intellect Core Banking 9.5's Interllect Core Search component. The groupType parameter in /SCGController is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL code.

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.
-
Confirm Polaris FT Intellect Core Banking versionCheck the installed version of Intellect Core Banking in your environment. This is typically visible in the application about page, system information, or version file shipped with the installation.Affected if The installed version is 9.5 (Intellect Core Banking)
-
Identify if Intellect Core Search component is deployedLocate the Intellect Core Search component within your Polaris FT Intellect Core Banking 9.5 installation. Check if the SCGController module is present in the deployed application files.Affected if The Intellect Core Search component with SCGController is deployed and active
-
Verify the /SCGController endpoint existsCheck if the /SCGController endpoint is accessible in your application. This is typically found under the web application's search or core banking module paths.Affected if The /SCGController endpoint is reachable in the application
-
Confirm authentication is required for the endpointReview access control settings for the /SCGController endpoint. Determine whether unauthenticated access is blocked or if valid credentials are required to reach this endpoint.Affected if The endpoint accepts authenticated requests (attack requires valid credentials)
-
Assess network exposure of the applicationDetermine if the application is exposed to external networks or untrusted users. Review firewall rules, VPN requirements, and access controls governing who can reach the application.Affected if The application is accessible from untrusted networks without additional authentication layers
Your environment is affected if you are running Polaris FT Intellect Core Banking version 9.5 with the Intellect Core Search component and /SCGController endpoint accessible to authenticated users, especially if exposed beyond trusted network boundaries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all SQL queries using the groupType parameter. Apply input validation and sanitize all user-supplied input before database queries. Apply vendor patch if available.
