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 has been found in Epsilon RH by Grupo Castilla. This vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve, create, update and delete database via sending a POST request using the parameter ‘sEstadoUsr’ in ‘/epsilonnetws/WSAvisos.asmx’.

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 Epsilon RH by Grupo Castilla allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the database via the 'sEstadoUsr' parameter in the /epsilonnetws/WSAvisos.asmx web service endpoint. The lack of proper input sanitization or parameterized queries enables full database compromise including retrieval, creation, update, and deletion of data.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all SQL operations in the WSAvisos.asmx web service, specifically validating and sanitizing the 'sEstadoUsr' parameter before database execution.

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 Epsilon RH installation
    Locate the web application directory or identify the hosted site named 'epsilonnetws' or 'Epsilon RH' in your web server (IIS, Apache, etc.) configuration
    Affected if The Epsilon RH web application by Grupo Castilla is present in the environment
  2. Verify WSAvisos.asmx endpoint exists
    Access the URL path /epsilonnetws/WSAvisos.asmx via HTTP/HTTPS request and confirm the ASMX service page loads or returns a SOAP response
    Affected if The WSAvisos.asmx web service endpoint is accessible and responds to requests
  3. Identify sEstadoUsr parameter handling
    Review the application source code or decompiled binaries for the WSAvisos.asmx service, specifically looking for the method handling the sEstadoUsr POST parameter
    Affected if The code accepts the sEstadoUsr parameter without parameterized query implementation
  4. Confirm lack of input validation
    Inspect the code handling sEstadoUsr to verify whether SQL meta-characters are validated or sanitized before being used in database queries
    Affected if No input validation or sanitization for SQL meta-characters is present in the parameter handling code

The environment is affected if Epsilon RH is installed with the WSAvisos.asmx endpoint accessible and the sEstadoUsr parameter is processed without parameterized queries or input validation.
