Impact
SQL injection allows input to alter database queries built by the application. The CVSS 3.1 vector in the record indicates a network attack vector, no privileges required, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, no integrity impact, low availability impact and a changed scope.
- Confidentiality: rated high, so data stored in the connected database may be exposed.
- Integrity: rated none in the vector.
- Availability: rated low.
Actual consequences depend on database permissions and application configuration, which the record does not describe.
Affected products and versions

Remediation and mitigation
- Identify whether YMC Filter is installed and which version is in use, especially any version at or below 3.11.5.
- Check the Patchstack record and the vendor for an updated release, and apply it once a fixed version is confirmed.
- If no fixed version is available, consider disabling the component or restricting access to the affected functionality until official guidance is published.
- Apply least-privilege principles to the database account used by the application.
- Use web application filtering as a temporary compensating control, recognising that it does not replace a fix.
Detection guidance

- Look for database errors or unexpected query behaviour reported by the application.
- Monitor for unexpected data access patterns on the database.
