An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8261 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Progress Whatsup Gold. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8261/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8261","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-249x-3qx4-8h7p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute SQL injection attacks via crafted SOAP requests in WhatsUp Gold, potentially accessing or modifying database contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"whatsup_gold","vendor":"progress"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"The DroneDeleteOldMeasurements implementation in Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold before 16.4 does not properly validate serialized XML objects, which allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via a crafted SOAP request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-01-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-01-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39231","stars":null,"title":"WhatsUp Gold 16.3 - Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"progress:whatsup_gold","products":["progress:whatsup_gold"],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8262"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in AXIS Communications products with firmware through 5.80.x","id":"CVE-2015-8258"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-01-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Progress WhatsUp Gold SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-6670","kev_date_added":"2024-09-16","published":"2024-08-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Progress WhatsUp Gold Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2024-4885","kev_date_added":"2025-03-03","published":"2024-06-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsUp Gold WriteDataFile Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-46909","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsUp Gold Registry Overwrite Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-8785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsUp Gold getReport Missing Authentication Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-7763","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsUp Gold GetStatisticalMonitorList SQL Injection Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-6671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WhatsUp Gold WriteDataFile Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-4883","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute SQL injection attacks via crafted SOAP requests in WhatsUp Gold, potentially accessing or modifying database contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8261/"}
