01

What, why and how

A vulnerability has been identified in Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions < V1.5.0). The Control Center Server (CCS) contains an SQL injection vulnerability in its XML-based communication protocol as provided by default on ports 5444/tcp and 5440/tcp. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read or modify the CCS database and potentially execute administrative database operations or operating system commands.

What

A vulnerability has been identified in Control Center Server (CCS) (All versions < V1.5.0). The Control Center Server (CCS) contains an SQL injection vulnerability in its XML-based communication protocol as provided by default on ports 5444/tcp and 5440/tcp. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read or modify the CCS database and potentially execute administrative database operations or operating system commands.

Why

Attacker-controlled data is not kept separate from SQL query syntax, allowing the intended database operation to be changed.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-89 ↗

CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'). The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
