ZDI-26-368: Quest NetVault Backup NVBUDashboard SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
A SQL injection vulnerability in Quest NetVault Backup's NVBUDashboard allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation requires authentication, but the authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied strings used in SQL queries, enabling code execution with NETWORK SERVICE privileges. Quest has issued an update to address this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7570 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Quest NetVault Backup's NVBUDashboard component. The flaw is due to insufficient validation of user input before constructing SQL queries, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely. Although authentication is nominally required, the authentication mechanism can be bypassed, increasing the risk of exploitation. Successful exploitation results in code execution with NETWORK SERVICE privileges. Quest has released an update to fix this vulnerability.
Potential Impact
Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on affected Quest NetVault Backup installations, potentially leading to full compromise of the system under the NETWORK SERVICE context. The authentication bypass increases the attack surface, making exploitation easier despite the nominal authentication requirement.
Mitigation Recommendations
Quest has issued an official update to correct this vulnerability. Applying the vendor-provided patch is the recommended remediation. No additional mitigations are specified or required beyond applying the update.
