WebEOC contains multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities

Overview

WebEOC contains multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities that may allow attackers to execute sql queries, potentially viewing or modifying data, or executing database commands.

Description

WebEOC is a web-based crisis information management application that provides functions to gather, coordinate, and disseminate information between emergency personnel and Emergency Operations Centers (EOC). WebEOC does not properly filter user input, allowing a remote attacker to supply SQL commands that may be executed by the underlying database.

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to execute SQL queries on a server, possibly with elevated privileges. As a result, attackers may be able to view or modify the contents of a WebEOC database, including authentication and sensitive medical information.

Solution

Upgrade

Version 6.0.2 corrects this vulnerability. According to ESi:

Specific validation checks have been added to all input fields that appeared to be susceptible to SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks to protect input fields against SQL injection or XSS attempts. In addition, all function parameters are validated in the application business logic. The validation process replaces ’ with ‘’ for String parameters, and for numeric parameters it verifies that the parameter is numeric. Such checks are a good first line of defense against SQL injection attacks.

To obtain WebEOC upgrades, contact ESi Technical Support.
