CVE-2026-45779 — Open XDMoD Vulnerable to Unauthenticated SQL Injection Leading to Full Database Compromise
OpenXDMoD is an open framework for collecting and analyzing HPC metrics. An SQL injection vulnerability exists in Open XDMoD versions prior to 10.0.3 that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction and can result in complete compromise of the underlying database. All deployments of Open XDMoD prior to 10.0.3 are impacted. This issue was discovered on 2023-08-03 and patched on 2023-08-04. At this time there is no evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. The vulnerability was patched in Open XDMoD 10.0.3 on 2023-08-04. As a workaround, apply the patch manually.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.9% (30-day exploitation probability)+9
- Technical severity (critical)+10
- Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Buffalo Open Xdmod, Ubccr Xdmod).
- The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
- Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (injection), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Look for parameters with command/query metacharacters and unexpected child processes of the service.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-45779 is "Open XDMoD Vulnerable to Unauthenticated SQL Injection Leading to Full Database Compromise", rated Critical. It affects Open Xdmod (Buffalo); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 9.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.85% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
