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
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in cnilsson iCafe Library icafe-library allows SQL Injection.This issue affects iCafe Library: from n/a through <= 1.8.3.

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 cnilsson iCafe Library (icafe-library) versions up to 1.8.3 allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via improper neutralization of special elements in SQL queries.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions, apply input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, and follow least privilege principles for database accounts.

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 icafe-library is in use
    Search your project dependencies (Maven pom.xml, Gradle build.gradle, package.json, or JAR/WAR manifests) for 'icafe-library' or 'cnilsson icafe'
    Affected if The library is present in dependencies
  2. Determine installed version
    Check your dependency management file (pom.xml, build.gradle, package.json) or the JAR manifest for the exact version number of icafe-library
    Affected if Version is 1.8.3 or lower (any version up to and including 1.8.3)
  3. Verify database connectivity is in use
    Inspect application code for database connections (JDBC, JPA, Hibernate, MyBatis) and SQL query execution patterns involving icafe-library classes
    Affected if Application uses any database operations through icafe-library
  4. Check for user input in SQL queries
    Review code that passes user-supplied data (request parameters, form inputs, API payloads) into raw SQL queries or query builders within icafe-library database operations
    Affected if User input flows directly into SQL queries without visible parameterized query usage (prepared statements)
  5. Review database user privileges
    Examine the database account credentials used by the application to determine if it has excessive privileges beyond what the application requires
    Affected if Database user has privileges beyond minimal requirements (e.g., DROP, CREATE, or administrative privileges when only READ is needed)

You are affected if icafe-library version 1.8.3 or lower is present AND your application uses database functionality where user input can reach raw SQL queries.
