CVE-2008-3058 in Oempro
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Octeth Oempro 3.5.5.1, and possibly other versions before 4, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the FormValue_Email parameter (aka Email field) to index.php in (1) member/, (2) client/, or (3) admin/; or (4) the FormValue_SearchKeywords parameter to client/campaign_track.php.

The CVE-2008-3058 vulnerability represents a critical SQL injection flaw affecting Octeth Oempro version 3.5.5.1 and potentially earlier versions up to version 3.9.9.9. This vulnerability resides within the web application's input validation mechanisms, specifically targeting the FormValue_Email parameter and FormValue_SearchKeywords parameter within the application's core modules. The affected paths include member/, client/, and admin/ directories, with the campaign_track.php file in the client/ directory serving as an additional attack vector. The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input data, allowing malicious actors to inject arbitrary SQL commands directly into the database query execution pipeline.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through the manipulation of HTTP parameters that are directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper escaping or parameterization. When an attacker submits specially crafted email addresses or search keywords through the FormValue_Email or FormValue_SearchKeywords parameters, the application fails to validate or sanitize these inputs before incorporating them into database queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL syntax that can manipulate the database behavior, potentially executing unauthorized commands with the privileges of the database user account. The vulnerability affects multiple application modules, indicating a systemic issue in the input handling architecture rather than isolated code defects.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft or modification. Attackers can leverage this weakness to gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including email addresses, campaign information, and potentially administrative credentials stored within the database. The vulnerability's presence across multiple directories suggests a comprehensive flaw in the application's security architecture, making it particularly dangerous as attackers can target different user roles through various entry points. The ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands opens pathways for data exfiltration, database schema enumeration, and potential privilege escalation within the application's database environment. This vulnerability directly maps to CWE-89, which specifically addresses SQL injection flaws in software applications.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2008-3058 should prioritize immediate application patching to version 4.0 or later, where the SQL injection vulnerabilities have been addressed through proper input validation and parameterized query implementation. Organizations should implement proper input sanitization techniques including the use of prepared statements and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls should be deployed to monitor and block suspicious SQL injection patterns in real-time traffic. Additionally, regular security audits and code reviews should be conducted to identify similar input validation weaknesses in other application components, with adherence to secure coding practices such as those outlined in the OWASP Top Ten and NIST Special Publication 800-115 guidelines. The vulnerability demonstrates the critical importance of input validation and proper database query construction in preventing unauthorized database access and maintaining application security integrity.
