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
Zohocorp ManageEngine Analytics Plus versions 6170 and below are vulnerable to Unauthenticated SQL Injection due to the improper filter configuration.

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

Unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Zohocorp ManageEngine Analytics Plus versions 6170 and below allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication due to improper filter configuration.

MitigationUpgrade ManageEngine Analytics Plus to a version above 6170; apply vendor-supplied patches immediately. If patching is delayed, restrict network exposure of the Analytics Plus service to minimize attack surface.

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 ManageEngine Analytics Plus installation
    Locate the Analytics Plus installation directory or check running services for 'Analytics Plus' or 'ManageEngine' processes on the server
    Affected if The product is installed and running
  2. Determine installed version
    Check the version number within the Analytics Plus admin console, or look for a version file in the installation directory (often in a 'version' or 'build' file)
    Affected if The installed version is 6170 or lower (e.g., 6170, 6150, 6000, etc.)
  3. Verify network exposure of the service
    Check firewall rules, network configuration, or listening ports to determine if the Analytics Plus web interface is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The service is exposed to the internet or untrusted internal networks without proper access controls
  4. Review access logs for suspicious SQL patterns
    Examine Analytics Plus access logs (typically in the 'logs' directory) for SQL injection payloads, such as UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, or other SQL keywords in URL parameters
    Affected if Unauthenticated SQL injection attempts are present in the logs
  5. Check for unauthorized database modifications
    Review database audit logs or compare recent database schema changes for unexpected modifications, especially to user tables or configurations
    Affected if Unexpected or unauthorized database changes are found that were not performed by administrators

A user is affected if ManageEngine Analytics Plus version 6170 or below is installed, the service is network-accessible, and either exploitation signs appear in logs or unauthorized database changes are detected.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade ManageEngine Analytics Plus to a version above 6170; apply vendor-supplied patches immediately. If patching is delayed, restrict network exposure of the Analytics Plus service to minimize attack surface.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Any version above 6170 (check official ManageEngine release for exact fixed version)

  1. 1. Identify the current version of ManageEngine Analytics Plus by accessing the About or Settings section in the application
  2. 2. If the current version is 6170 or below, this installation is vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection
  3. 3. Download the latest version of ManageEngine Analytics Plus from the official ManageEngine website (www.manageengine.com)
  4. 4. Review the upgrade documentation and release notes for any prerequisites
  5. 5. Perform a complete backup of the current installation including database and configuration files
  6. 6. Execute the upgrade following the official upgrade procedure provided in the documentation
  7. 7. After upgrade, verify the application is functioning correctly and the version number reflects the newer release
  8. 8. Confirm the SQL injection vulnerability is resolved by testing or consulting vendor release notes
Caveat Review upgrade documentation for potential configuration or compatibility changes during migration
