Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the vulnerable system. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the vulnerable system.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-1479 effectively, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately audit all inputs to the '/evaluacion_hca_ver_auto.asp' endpoint, focusing on 'Id_usuario' and 'Id_evaluacion' parameters, ensuring strict input validation and sanitization to reject malicious payloads. 2) Refactor database interaction code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements, eliminating direct concatenation of user inputs into SQL commands. 3) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules tailored to detect and block SQL injection patterns, including out-of-band injection attempts. 4) Monitor network traffic for unusual outbound connections from the database server, such as DNS or HTTP requests that could indicate OOB data exfiltration. 5) Conduct thorough logging and anomaly detection on database query patterns to identify suspicious activity. 6) Engage with the vendor for patches or updates; if unavailable, consider temporary compensating controls such as restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint or isolating the database server from unnecessary network exposure. 7) Educate development and security teams on secure coding practices to prevent injection flaws in future releases. 8) Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by addressing the specific attack vectors and detection challenges posed by out-of-band SQL injection.

Description

An out-of-band SQL injection vulnerability (OOB SQLi) has been detected in the Performance Evaluation (EDD) application developed by Gabinete Técnico de Programación. Exploiting this vulnerability in the parameters 'Id_usuario' and 'Id_evaluacion’ in ‘/evaluacion_hca_ver_auto.asp', could allow an attacker to extract sensitive information from the database through external channels, without the affected application returning the data directly, compromising the confidentiality of the stored information.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2026-1479 is substantial. The EDD application is used for performance evaluations, which typically contain sensitive personal and professional data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of employee information, internal evaluations, and potentially other linked confidential data stored in the database. This breach of confidentiality could result in regulatory non-compliance, especially under GDPR, leading to legal penalties and reputational damage. The integrity of evaluation data could also be compromised, undermining trust in HR processes. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, attackers can remotely exploit it at scale, increasing the risk of widespread data breaches. The out-of-band extraction method makes detection difficult, potentially allowing prolonged undetected data exfiltration. European public sector entities and private companies relying on Quatuor EDD for HR management are particularly vulnerable, as they often handle large volumes of sensitive personal data. The critical severity score reflects the high potential for damage, emphasizing the need for urgent attention to prevent exploitation and data loss.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
