Descriptions
In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2024.0.1, a SQL Injection vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privileged user (at least Report Viewer permissions required)
to achieve privilege escalation to the admin account.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Progress Software WhatsUp Gold. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the GetFilterCriteria method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the user.
