NVD · unedited
Zohocorp ManageEngine ADAudit Plus versions 8510 and prior are vulnerable to authenticated SQL injection in the alerts module.

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

ManageEngine ADAudit Plus versions 8510 and prior contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the alerts module. An attacker with valid credentials can inject malicious SQL queries through the alerts functionality to manipulate database queries, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or extraction.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch or upgrade to a version beyond 8510. Until patched, restrict access to the alerts module to only trusted, necessary users and monitor for suspicious SQL-like activity in logs.

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

    Affected if The alerts module is present and accessible to your user account
  3. Confirm authentication credentials exist
    Review user accounts configured in ADAudit Plus (via Administration > User Settings or similar) to identify which accounts have access to the alerts functionality
    Affected if There are active user accounts with permissions to access and configure alerts
  4. Check for suspicious SQL-like activity in logs
    Examine ADAudit Plus logs in the product's logs directory (commonly <InstallDir>/logs/) for unusual SQL syntax patterns, unexpected quotes, or UNION/SELECT statements in alert-related log entries
    Affected if Log entries contain malformed SQL syntax or SQL injection patterns in alerts-related operations
