Descriptions

A SQL Injection issue was discovered in WebAccess versions prior to 8.3. WebAccess does not properly sanitize its inputs for SQL commands.

Se ha descubierto un problema de inyección SQL en WebAccess en versiones anteriores a la 8.3. WebAccess no sanea adecuadamente sus entradas para comandos SQL.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on vulnerable installations of Advantech WebAccess.
The specific flaw exists within processing of the Login method of the BWSCADASoap entry point. When parsing the ProjectName and Username elements, the process does not properly validate user-supplied strings before using them to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the database.

Advantech WebAccess version 8.0-2015.08.16 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
