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
Boolean-Based SQL Injection is a type of blind SQL injection where an attacker manipulates SQL queries by injecting Boolean conditions (TRUE or FALSE) into application input fields. Instead of returning database errors or visible data, the application responds differently depending on whether the injected condition evaluates to true or false. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into backend configuration queries executed within the application.

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 · moderate confidence

Boolean-based blind SQL injection in backend configuration queries allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL by manipulating TRUE/FALSE conditions in application input fields. The application exhibits different behavior based on whether injected conditions evaluate to true or false, enabling data exfiltration and potential database compromise.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all user-supplied inputs in configuration queries, perform comprehensive input validation, and audit all database interaction points.

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 Hcltech Unica version
    Access the Unica administrative interface or check the product version file/documentation. Common methods include viewing the 'About' section in the admin panel, checking the installer logs, or running: [version_check_command] depending on your deployment method.
    Affected if The installed version is below 25.1.1.0.1 (e.g., 25.0.x, 24.x, or earlier)
  2. Identify installed Hcltech Unica Audience Central version
    Access the Audience Central administrative interface or check the product version file. Navigate to the system information or about page in the Audience Central admin panel.
    Affected if The installed version is below 25.1.1.0.1 (e.g., 25.0.x, 24.x, or earlier)
  3. Locate backend configuration query endpoints
    Review application URL paths and API endpoints related to configuration, settings, or system parameters. Common patterns include paths containing 'config', 'settings', 'system', 'admin', or 'configure'. Use web application scanning or manual review of available routes.
    Affected if Configuration-related endpoints are exposed and accessible without additional authentication barriers beyond standard login
  4. Identify user input fields in configuration queries
    Test all input fields in configuration-related pages (forms, query parameters, search fields) by submitting TRUE and FALSE conditional payloads such as '1=1' vs '1=2' or 'AND 1=1' vs 'AND 1=2'. Compare HTTP response times, error messages, or output differences.
    Affected if The application exhibits measurably different behavior (response content, error messages, timing, or HTTP status) between TRUE and FALSE conditions in user-supplied input within configuration contexts

You are affected if you are running any version of Hcltech Unica or Hcltech Unica Audience Central prior to 25.1.1.0.1 AND your configuration query endpoints accept user input that produces different responses when injecting TRUE versus FALSE SQL conditions.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 25.1.1.0.1 or later
Fixed in 25.1.1.0.1
Interim mitigation

Implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all user-supplied inputs in configuration queries, perform comprehensive input validation, and audit all database interaction points.

Recommended fix High confidence

25.1.1.0.1

  1. 1. Create a complete backup of the current Unica and Unica Audience Central installation, including database and configuration files.
  2. 2. Navigate to the HCL Software support portal (support.hcl-software.com) and locate the download for Unica version 25.1.1.0.1.
  3. 3. Download the appropriate patch or installer for your specific Unica product and platform.
  4. 4. Review the HCL Unica installation/upgrade documentation for version 25.1.1.0.1 before proceeding.
  5. 5. Stop all Unica services and application servers to prevent active connections during the upgrade.
  6. 6. Execute the upgrade or patch installation following the official HCL upgrade procedures.
  7. 7. After installation, verify that all services start correctly.
  8. 8. Test the application to confirm functionality, particularly any features that execute backend configuration queries.
