Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
This vulnerability impacts organizations using Open ISES Tickets, specifically affecting how location data from external GPS tracking services is processed. The core issue lies in the system's failure to properly sanitize data received from these services before using it in database commands. This weakness can allow an attacker to manipulate location information and potentially alter records related to responder locations and assignments.
- Vulnerable component: Location data processing
- Core weakness: Unsanitized data concatenation
- Main business impact: Data manipulation and record alteration
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL commands into the system by compromising or impersonating a remote GPS tracker endpoint. This could lead to unauthorized manipulation of responder location, tracks, and assignment data.
- Publicly accessible GPS data receiver.
- Attacker injects SQL via GPS data.
- SQL injection manipulates data.
Live Threat
Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context
This vulnerability could allow an attacker to manipulate location and tracking data within the system. An attacker who can compromise or impersonate a remote GPS tracker endpoint could inject SQL code. This could lead to unauthorized modification of responder locations, tracks, and assignment data, potentially impacting operational visibility and integrity.
- Likely attacker skill level: High
- Required access or conditions: Compromised or impersonated GPS tracker
- Business risk or urgency: Moderate
Priority actions
Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
Organizations utilizing Open ISES Tickets should address a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow an attacker to manipulate location and assignment data. This issue arises from the improper handling of data received from external GPS tracking services. An attacker who can compromise or impersonate these services could inject malicious SQL commands to alter critical information within the responder location, tracks, and assignment tables.
- Identify systems processing GPS data.
- Reduce exposure to GPS data sources.
- Apply vendor fix, verify, and monitor.
