## What is CVE-2014-0763?

CVE-2014-0763 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess, published on 12 Apr 2014. It can be exploited over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An attacker using SQL injection may use arguments to construct queries 
without proper sanitization. The DBVisitor.dll is exposed through SOAP

Check this codebase for CVE-2014-0763 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2014-0763 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in Advantech WebAccess, published on 12 Apr 2014. It can be exploited over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-0763 exists.

Affected product: Advantech WebAccess. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
