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
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in ESAFENET CDG 5.6.3.154.205_20250114. Affected is an unknown function of the file /CDGServer3/logManagement/backupLogDetail.jsp. The manipulation of the argument logTaskId leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 ESAFENET CDG 5.6.3.154.205_20250114 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the logTaskId parameter in the /CDGServer3/logManagement/backupLogDetail.jsp file. The critical CVSS score of 9.8 indicates potential for complete system compromise through database exploitation.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements in backupLogDetail.jsp to sanitize the logTaskId parameter, or apply vendor patch if available; until fix is applied, consider disabling the affected endpoint or implementing WAF rules as temporary mitigation.

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 Esafenet Cdg installation and version
    Locate the Esafenet Cdg installation directory and check the version file or product information. Common locations include the installation root folder or system information panels within the application.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 5.6.3.154.205_20250114
  2. Verify vulnerable JSP file exists
    Check for the presence of /CDGServer3/logManagement/backupLogDetail.jsp in the web application root directory. This file should exist in the deployed application.
    Affected if The backupLogDetail.jsp file exists in the expected path under the CDGServer3 web application directory
  3. Confirm the logTaskId parameter is in use
    Review the backupLogDetail.jsp source code to verify it accepts and processes a logTaskId parameter without proper sanitization. Check if this parameter is directly used in database queries.
    Affected if The logTaskId parameter is present in the JSP and is used in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input validation
  4. Test endpoint accessibility
    Verify the endpoint /CDGServer3/logManagement/backupLogDetail.jsp is accessible over the network. This may require checking web server configuration or attempting a request to the endpoint.
    Affected if The vulnerable endpoint is exposed and reachable from the network

If Esafenet Cdg version 5.6.3.154.205_20250114 is installed and the backupLogDetail.jsp file with the vulnerable logTaskId parameter is present and accessible, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-1844.
