CVE-2024-57178
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 SQL injection vulnerability exists in Stock-Forecaster <=01-04-2020. By sending a specially crafted 'stock-symbol' parameter to the portofolio() endpoint, it is possible to trigger an SQL injection in the application. As a result, the attacker will be able the user data or manipulate the software behavior.
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 confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Stock-Forecaster application (version <=01-04-2020) in the portofolio() endpoint. The vulnerability is specifically in the 'stock-symbol' parameter, which does not properly sanitize user input before using it in an SQL query. An attacker can send specially crafted input to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially allowing unauthorized access to user data or modification of application behavior.

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 Stock-Forecaster installationLocate the Stock-Forecaster application in your environment by checking for application directories, services, or containers named 'Stock-Forecaster' or similar variants.Affected if The application is present in your environment.
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the application's version information by examining metadata files, about pages, or the application binary/config files. Compare the version date to 01-04-2020.Affected if The version date is on or before 01-04-2020.
-
Verify portofolio endpoint existenceLocate the application source code or configuration and identify if a portofolio() endpoint is defined and accessible.Affected if The portofolio endpoint exists and is accessible.
-
Inspect stock-symbol parameter handlingExamine the code handling the 'stock-symbol' parameter in the portofolio endpoint to determine if user input is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization.Affected if The 'stock-symbol' parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements or proper sanitization.
-
Check database interaction layerReview the application's database access code to verify whether prepared statements or stored procedures are used for all queries involving the stock-symbol parameter.Affected if Parameterized queries (prepared statements) are not implemented for stock-symbol parameter queries.
You are affected if Stock-Forecaster version 01-04-2020 or earlier is installed and the portofolio endpoint with the stock-symbol parameter handles database queries without prepared statements.

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 (prepared statements) for all database interactions involving user-supplied input, particularly the 'stock-symbol' parameter in the portofolio endpoint. Additionally, apply input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth measures.
