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 was reported in Lenovo Vantage that could allow a local attacker to modify the local SQLite database and execute limited SQLite commands.

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

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Lenovo Vantage that allows a local attacker to modify the local SQLite database and execute limited SQLite commands. The flaw stems from improper input handling when the application interacts with its local SQLite database, enabling SQL manipulation through the vulnerable code path.

MitigationApply the Lenovo Vantage security patch when available; until then, restrict local access to the system and monitor for unauthorized database modifications.

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 installed Lenovo Vantage version
    Open Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & features, locate 'Lenovo Vantage' or 'Lenovo Commercial Vantage', and note the version number shown. Alternatively, right-click the Lenovo Vantage executable (typically in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Vantage or C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\Vantage) and select Properties > Details to view the File Version.
    Affected if The installed version is below 20.2506.39.0 for Commercial Vantage, or below 10.2501.20.0 for standard Vantage.
  2. Confirm Lenovo Vantage application presence
    Search for 'Lenovo Vantage' in the Windows Start menu or check for the application in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\ directories.
    Affected if Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo Commercial Vantage is installed on the system.
  3. Locate local SQLite database files
    Navigate to the Lenovo Vantage data directory, typically found at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lenovo\Vantage\ or %PROGRAMDATA%\Lenovo\Vantage\, and identify any .db or .sqlite files used by the application.
    Affected if SQLite database files exist in the Lenovo Vantage data directory, indicating the vulnerable database interaction component is present.
  4. Check for unauthorized database modifications
    Use integrity monitoring tools or compare current database file hashes against known-good baselines for SQLite databases in the Lenovo Vantage directories. Review database access timestamps for unexpected changes.
    Affected if Database files show unexpected modification timestamps or hash discrepancies indicating potential SQL injection exploitation.
  5. Review application logs for anomalous SQL behavior
    Open Lenovo Vantage logs located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lenovo\Vantage\logs\ or %PROGRAMDATA%\Lenovo\Vantage\logs\ and search for unusual database query patterns, errors, or SQL syntax anomalies.
    Affected if Logs contain malformed SQL queries, database errors, or patterns inconsistent with normal application behavior.

You are affected if Lenovo Vantage (any edition) or Lenovo Commercial Vantage is installed with a version number lower than 20.2506.39.0 or 10.2501.20.0 respectively, and the application interacts with its local SQLite database.
