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
OPEXUS FOIAXpress Public Access Link (PAL) before version 11.13.1.0 allows SQL injection via SearchPopularDocs.aspx. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could read, write, or delete any content in the underlying database.

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

OPEXUS FOIAXpress Public Access Link (PAL) versions before 11.13.1.0 contain an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the SearchPopularDocs.aspx page. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the underlying database, enabling complete data exfiltration, modification, or deletion.

MitigationUpgrade FOIAXpress PAL to version 11.13.1.0 or later to obtain the patched build. Until patched, consider disabling the affected SearchPopularDocs.aspx endpoint or placing it behind a web application firewall.

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. Locate FOIAXpress PAL installation
    Check IIS Manager for websites or applications named FOIAXpress or FOIAXpress PAL. Common installation paths are C:\inetpub\wwwroot\FOIAXpress or under the default website in IIS. Look for the web.config file in the application root.
    Affected if No FOIAXpress PAL installation found on the server
  2. Determine installed FOIAXpress PAL version
    Check the version of the FOIAXpress PAL installation. Examine the assembly version of DLLs in the /bin folder, look for a version.txt or version.info file in the installation directory, or check the application's About page if accessible through the web interface. Compare the version number to 11.13.1.0.
    Affected if Installed version is below 11.13.1.0
  3. Verify SearchPopularDocs.aspx exists
    Locate the SearchPopularDocs.aspx file within the FOIAXpress PAL web directory structure. Search in the web root and common subdirectories like /Search or /Pages. Confirm the file exists on the file system.
    Affected if SearchPopularDocs.aspx file is present in the installation
  4. Check if SearchPopularDocs.aspx is externally accessible
    Attempt to access the SearchPopularDocs.aspx page via HTTP/HTTPS without providing credentials. Use a browser or curl command against the URL (for example, https://yourserver/SearchPopularDocs.aspx or the appropriate path). Verify if the page loads or returns an error versus redirecting to a login page.
    Affected if The page loads or returns application content without requiring authentication

The environment is affected if FOIAXpress PAL version is lower than 11.13.1.0 and the SearchPopularDocs.aspx page is accessible without authentication.
