CVE-2024-55971
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 · uneditedSQL Injection vulnerability in the default configuration of the Logitime WebClock application <= 5.43.0 allows an unauthenticated user to run arbitrary code on the backend database server.
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 default configuration of Logitime WebClock application version 5.43.0 and below allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the backend database server via unsanitized user inputs.

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 Logitime WebClock installationLocate the Logitime WebClock installation directory and find version information in the application metadata, about page, or version file (commonly named version.txt, about, or embedded in the main executable/dll)Affected if The identified version is 5.43.0 or lower
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare your installed version number against the affected range: any version 5.43.0 and below is vulnerableAffected if The installed version is 5.43.0 or below
-
Confirm default configuration is in useCheck whether the application is running with its default configuration settings, particularly default database connection parameters and default web application settingsAffected if The application uses default configuration settings (the vulnerability is in the default configuration)
-
Identify accessible user input fieldsReview publicly accessible web forms and parameters in the Logitime WebClock login, time entry, or user registration pages that accept user input and interact with the databaseAffected if Unsanitized user input fields are present and accessible without authentication
The environment is affected if Logitime WebClock version 5.43.0 or below is installed with default configuration and has unauthenticated user input fields that interact with the database without sanitization.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataUpgrade to the patched version of Logitime WebClock. Additionally, implement parameterized queries/Prepared Statements for all database interactions and apply input validation across all user-facing fields.
