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 JoeyBling bootplus admin interface at /admin/sys/role/list endpoint. The 'sort' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) remote vulnerability that has been publicly disclosed.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or proper input validation/sanitization for the 'sort' parameter. Until a patch is available, consider disabling or restricting access to the affected admin endpoint.

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 JoeyBling Bootplus installation
    Identify whether the target application is JoeyBling Bootplus by examining application files, headers, or runtime identifiers
    Affected if The application is JoeyBling Bootplus
  2. Check installed version
    Locate the version information for the JoeyBling Bootplus installation (typically in build metadata, configuration files, or the JAR/WAR manifest) and compare it to the affected version 2020-08-24
    Affected if Installed version is 2020-08-24 or earlier
  3. Verify admin endpoint exposure
    Check if the application exposes the admin interface at /admin/sys/role/list (for example, by attempting access or reviewing routing configuration)
    Affected if The /admin/sys/role/list endpoint is accessible

Environment is affected if JoeyBling Bootplus version 2020-08-24 or earlier is running and the admin role list endpoint is exposed
