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 has been found in joey-zhou xiaozhi-esp32-server-java up to a14fe8115842ee42ab5c7a51706b8a85db5200b7 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function update of the file /api/user/update. The manipulation of the argument state leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the /api/user/update API endpoint of xiaozhi-esp32-server-java. The 'state' parameter is directly concatenated into a SQL query without sanitization or parameterized queries, allowing remote attackers to manipulate SQL queries and potentially extract, modify, or delete database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL construction with parameterized queries/prepared statements for the state parameter, and implement proper input validation on all user-supplied data before database operations.

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. Identify if xiaozhi-esp32-server-java is running
    Check running processes or services for the xiaozhi-esp32-server-java application, or look for its deployment directory on the server
    Affected if The application is installed and running on the system
  2. Locate the /api/user/update endpoint handler
    Examine the application's source code or web server configuration to find the file containing the /api/user/update endpoint implementation, typically in a controller or API handler file
    Affected if The endpoint exists and is accessible in the codebase
  3. Verify the 'state' parameter is used in the update operation
    Search the endpoint handler code for references to 'state' parameter and examine how it is processed before being used in database operations
    Affected if The 'state' parameter is accepted and used in the user update logic
  4. Check for unsafe SQL query construction
    Examine the database query code that uses the 'state' parameter to determine if it uses direct string concatenation or parameterized queries (prepared statements)
    Affected if The 'state' parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using parameterized queries or input sanitization
  5. Confirm database connectivity and accessibility
    Verify the application has an active database connection and that the user update functionality can be triggered through the API
    Affected if The database is connected and the update endpoint is reachable over the network

If xiaozhi-esp32-server-java is running with the /api/user/update endpoint that directly concatenates the 'state' parameter into SQL queries, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
