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 SQL injection vulnerability in timeoutWarning.asp in Advantive VeraCore through 2025.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the PmSess1 parameter.

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 timeoutWarning.asp of Advantive VeraCore (versions through 2025.1.0). The PmSess1 parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the web interface.

MitigationApply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version; if unavailable, implement parameterized queries/Prepared Statements for the PmSess1 parameter in timeoutWarning.asp and validate all 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Advantive VeraCore installation
    Locate the VeraCore application directory or check installed programs list on the web server. Identify the specific version number of the VeraCore installation.
    Affected if The installed version is Advantive VeraCore and the version is below 2025.1.1.3
  2. Locate timeoutWarning.asp file
    Search the web server document root for the timeoutWarning.asp file. Common paths may include /app/ or subdirectories related to the web application.
    Affected if The timeoutWarning.asp file exists in the web application directory
  3. Check PmSess1 parameter handling
    Examine the source code of timeoutWarning.asp and locate the code that processes the PmSess1 parameter. Determine if the parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization.
    Affected if The PmSess1 parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements or input validation
  4. Test parameter for SQL injection
    If authorized and in a test environment, send a crafted request to timeoutWarning.asp with SQL meta-characters in the PmSess1 parameter (e.g., single quote, OR 1=1) and observe the application response for SQL syntax errors or unexpected behavior.
    Affected if The application returns SQL error messages or behaves differently when SQL meta-characters are passed in PmSess1
  5. Review web server logs
    Check web server access and error logs for suspicious requests to timeoutWarning.asp containing SQL injection patterns in the PmSess1 parameter.
    Affected if Malicious SQL injection payloads are present in historical requests to this endpoint

A system is affected if it runs Advantive VeraCore version below 2025.1.1.3 and the timeoutWarning.asp file processes the PmSess1 parameter without parameterized queries.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2025.1.1.3 or later
Fixed in 2025.1.1.3
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor patch or upgrade to a fixed version; if unavailable, implement parameterized queries/Prepared Statements for the PmSess1 parameter in timeoutWarning.asp and validate all user inputs.

Recommended fix High confidence

2025.1.1.3

  1. Backup the current VeraCore installation and database before proceeding with the upgrade
  2. Download VeraCore version 2025.1.1.3 from the official Advantive vendor portal or authorized distribution channel
  3. Review the official upgrade documentation for VeraCore 2025.1.1.3
  4. Execute the upgrade following the vendor's prescribed upgrade procedure
  5. Verify the timeoutWarning.asp file has been updated and the PmSess1 parameter is now properly sanitized
  6. Test that the application functions normally after the upgrade
  7. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is no longer exploitable by verifying the fix

Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.
