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
SQL injection in TCMAN's GIM v11. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject an SQL statement to obtain, update and delete all information in the database. This vulnerability was found in each of the following parameters according to the vulnerability identifier ‘Sender’ and “email” parameters of the ‘createNotificationAndroid’ endpoint.

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 TCMAN GIM v11's createNotificationAndroid endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL statements through the 'Sender' and 'email' parameters, enabling full database compromise including read, write, and delete operations.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements in the createNotificationAndroid endpoint for both Sender and email parameters; apply input validation and sanitization as defense-in-depth; implement principle of least privilege on 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 TCMAN GIM installation and version
    Locate the TCMAN GIM installation directory and check the version file or system information. Common locations include /opt/tcmangim, /usr/local/tcmangim, or check via the application's about/version page if available.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 11.0 (version 11.0)
  2. Locate the createNotificationAndroid endpoint
    Identify the web application endpoint paths for TCMAN GIM. This endpoint typically handles Android push notification creation. Check web server configuration files (e.g., Apache, Nginx, IIS) or application routing configuration for paths containing createNotificationAndroid.
    Affected if The createNotificationAndroid endpoint is exposed and accessible via HTTP/HTTPS
  3. Verify parameter exposure
    Examine the application's request handling for the createNotificationAndroid endpoint. Check if the 'Sender' and 'email' parameters are accepted and processed without proper parameterization. Review the application's parameter handling logic or API documentation.
    Affected if The 'Sender' and 'email' parameters are accepted by the createNotificationAndroid endpoint without being passed through parameterized queries or prepared statements
  4. Review application and database logs
    Inspect application logs and database query logs for suspicious or unexpected SQL syntax in requests targeting the createNotificationAndroid endpoint. Look for SQL error messages, unusual query patterns, or time-based blind SQL injection indicators.
    Affected if Logs show SQL injection attempts or successful exploitation indicators against the Sender or email parameters

Your environment is affected if you are running TCMAN GIM version 11.0 with the createNotificationAndroid endpoint exposed and the Sender/email parameters processed through dynamic SQL rather than parameterized queries.

Mitigation

Replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements in the createNotificationAndroid endpoint for both Sender and email parameters; apply input validation and sanitization as defense-in-depth; implement principle of least privilege on database accounts.
