Description
Seeyon A6 collaborative office automation platform contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the attach_ids parameter of the file attachment download endpoint that allows remote attackers to extract arbitrary database contents without prior authentication. Attackers can inject UNION-based SQL statements through the attach_ids request parameter in downloadAtt.jsp to retrieve sensitive information including credentials and system configuration data. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-17.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2015-20122 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
