CVE-2026-40837: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in MB connect line mbCONNECT24
An low privileged remote attacker can exploit an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in the getProjectScalings function due to improper neutralization of special elements in a SQL SELECT command. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-40837) affects mbCONNECT24, where the getProjectScalings function improperly neutralizes special elements in a SQL SELECT command, enabling an unauthenticated low privileged remote attacker to perform SQL Injection. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). No patch or official remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can achieve a total loss of confidentiality, potentially accessing sensitive data stored in the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or elevated privileges, increasing its risk. There are no reports of known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict network access to the affected service and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL Injection attempts. Avoid exposing the vulnerable function to untrusted networks if possible.
