CVE-2026-40817
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 · uneditedAn unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in the getAlarmProfiles function due to improper neutralization of special elements in a SQL SELECT command. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality.
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 confidenceAn unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the getAlarmProfiles function where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in a SQL SELECT query. An attacker can inject malicious SQL commands via input parameters to this function, potentially extracting sensitive data from the database.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the getAlarmProfiles function in your codebaseSearch your application source code for the string 'getAlarmProfiles' - this may be in a controller, service, or data access layer file. Identify the file and programming language used.Affected if The function exists in your application code and handles user input without sanitization
-
Examine how user input is handled in the functionReview the getAlarmProfiles function code to trace how parameters (query parameters, request body, headers) flow into the function. Look for any input parameters it accepts.Affected if User-supplied parameters are directly passed into the function without validation or sanitization
-
Inspect the SQL query construction within getAlarmProfilesFind where SQL SELECT queries are built inside getAlarmProfiles. Look for string concatenation, string formatting, or dynamic query building that incorporates input parameters.Affected if The SQL query is constructed using string concatenation or formatting with user input rather than parameterized queries
-
Verify if prepared statements or parameterized queries are usedCheck the database interaction code within getAlarmProfiles for use of prepared statements, parameterized queries, ORMs, or query builders that separate code from data.Affected if The code does NOT use prepared statements or parameterized queries - raw SQL with string interpolation is used instead
-
Confirm the function is accessible without authenticationReview your routing, middleware, and access control configuration to determine if the getAlarmProfiles function can be invoked by unauthenticated users (no login required).Affected if The function endpoint is publicly accessible or accessible to unauthenticated users
Your environment is affected if the getAlarmProfiles function exists in your application, accepts user input, and constructs SQL queries using string concatenation or formatting instead of parameterized queries, and is accessible without authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements in the getAlarmProfiles function to properly neutralize special elements. Input validation and least-privilege database accounts should also be implemented as defense-in-depth measures.
