CVE-2026-40832
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 low privileged remote attacker can exploit an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in the getDevicegroups 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 getDevicegroups function where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL SELECT queries. A remote, low-privileged attacker can exploit this to inject malicious SQL code, potentially exfiltrating 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 getDevicegroups function in the codebaseSearch the application source code for 'getDevicegroups' function definition - check in controller, service, or model files depending on application architectureAffected if The function exists in the application code
-
Identify how user input reaches this functionTrace the code path from HTTP request parameters to the getDevicegroups function call; look for how devicegroup-related parameters (such as id, name, filter, or search criteria) are passedAffected if User-supplied parameters (GET/POST/cookies) are directly passed to this function without validation
-
Verify if the function is accessible without authenticationCheck the route/controller security annotations or middleware for getDevicegroups endpoint; attempt to call the endpoint without providing valid authentication credentialsAffected if The endpoint can be reached without any authentication or authorization checks
-
Inspect SQL query construction within getDevicegroupsReview the database query code inside getDevicegroups function; look for string concatenation, template literals, or dynamic query building that incorporates user input directly into SQL statementsAffected if SQL queries are constructed using string concatenation or interpolation with unsanitized user input rather than parameterized queries or an ORM with proper escaping
-
Confirm absence of input sanitizationSearch for input validation routines (such as escaping special characters, using allowlists, or applying type coercion) applied to parameters before they are used in SQL queries within this functionAffected if No input sanitization, escaping, or validation is performed on user input before it is used in database queries
If the getDevicegroups function exists, accepts unauthenticated user input, and uses that input directly in SQL queries without parameterized statements or input sanitization, the application is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database queries in the getDevicegroups function, and apply proper input validation to neutralize special SQL characters.
