CVE-2024-42844
Published: 06 March 2025
Description
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Security Summary
CVE-2024-42844 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in EPICOR Prophet 21 (P21) versions up to 23.2.5232. The issue arises from unsanitized user input fields that enable authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information. Published on 2025-03-06, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low complexity, and significant impacts on confidentiality and integrity.
The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers who possess valid low-privilege credentials (PR:L), requiring no user interaction. Attackers can inject malicious SQL payloads into affected input fields to execute arbitrary commands, achieving high-level data extraction or manipulation without impacting availability.
