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
Open ISES Tickets before 3.44.2 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in incs/remotes.inc.php where latitude, longitude, callsign, mph, altitude, and timestamp values parsed from external GPS tracking service XML/JSON responses (InstaMapper and Google Latitude integration) are concatenated into UPDATE and INSERT statements without sanitization. An attacker able to compromise or impersonate the remote GPS tracker endpoint can inject SQL to manipulate the responder location, tracks, and assignment tables.

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
How this class of weakness works · CWE-89

User input is woven into a database query, letting an attacker rewrite the query's logic. From there they can read, alter, or destroy data — frequently the entire database. The reliable fix is parameterised queries (prepared statements), so input is always treated as data and never as SQL.

Recommended fix High confidence

Open ISES Tickets 3.44.2 or later

  1. 1. Backup the database and all application files before making any changes
  2. 2. Check the current version of Open ISES Tickets installation (likely in the admin panel or a version file)
  3. 3. Download Open ISES Tickets version 3.44.2 or later from the official repository
  4. 4. Replace the existing incs/remotes.inc.php file with the updated version from the release
  5. 5. Alternatively, apply the specific fix commit directly: review commit ecfeb406a016766cae81c749e14b5145a9f2dbff and apply the changes to incs/remotes.inc.php
  6. 6. After upgrading, verify that latitude, longitude, callsign, mph, altitude, and timestamp parameters are now properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries
  7. 7. Test the GPS tracking integration (InstaMapper and Google Latitude) to ensure functionality works correctly
  8. 8. Monitor logs for any SQL injection attempts or errors
