📄 Description (English)

An out-of-band SQL injection vulnerability (OOB SQLi) has been detected in the Performance Evaluation (EDD) application developed by Gabinete Técnico de Programación. Exploiting this vulnerability in the parameter 'txAny' in '/evaluacion_competencias_autoeval_list.aspx', could allow an attacker to extract sensitive information from the database through external channels, without the affected application returning the data directly, compromising the confidentiality of the stored information.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

CVE-2026-1472 is a high-severity out-of-band SQL injection vulnerability in the Performance Evaluation (EDD) application affecting the 'txAny' parameter. This vulnerability allows attackers to extract sensitive database information through external channels without direct application feedback, posing significant confidentiality risks. A patch is available and should be deployed immediately to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration.

📄 Description (Arabic)

🤖 AI Intelligence Analysis Analyzed: May 3, 2026 10:19
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability poses significant risk to Saudi government entities, particularly those using the EDD application for employee performance evaluations. Government agencies under NCA oversight, civil service organizations, and any institution managing sensitive personnel data through this application face direct confidentiality breaches. Banking sector organizations using similar evaluation systems, healthcare institutions managing staff assessments, and large enterprises under SAMA or other regulatory frameworks could be compromised. The OOB SQLi technique allows attackers to bypass traditional WAF protections commonly deployed in Saudi infrastructure.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all instances of the EDD application (Evaluacion de Desempeno) running in your environment
2. Isolate affected systems from external network access if patching cannot be completed within 24 hours
3. Review database access logs for suspicious activity, particularly DNS queries or HTTP requests to external domains
4. Notify all users with database access credentials to monitor for unauthorized access

PATCHING GUIDANCE:
1. Apply the available patch from Quatuor/Gabinete Técnico de Programación immediately
2. Test patch in non-production environment first
3. Schedule maintenance window for production deployment
4. Verify patch application by checking application version and running vulnerability scanner

COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patch deployment delayed):
1. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in 'txAny' parameter
2. Apply input validation rules: whitelist allowed characters, reject special SQL characters
3. Implement database query logging and monitoring for suspicious patterns
4. Restrict outbound DNS and HTTP connections from application servers
5. Apply principle of least privilege to database service accounts

DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for SQL keywords in 'txAny' parameter: UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, EXEC, DECLARE
2. Alert on outbound DNS queries from application servers to suspicious domains
3. Monitor for unusual database connection patterns or data extraction queries
4. Track HTTP requests containing encoded SQL syntax in parameters
5. Monitor for time-based SQL injection indicators (unusual query delays)
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع نسخ تطبيق EDD (تقييم الأداء) التي تعمل في بيئتك
2. عزل الأنظمة المتأثرة عن الوصول الخارجي إذا لم يتمكن من تطبيق التصحيح خلال 24 ساعة
3. مراجعة سجلات الوصول إلى قاعدة البيانات للبحث عن نشاط مريب، خاصة استعلامات DNS أو طلبات HTTP إلى نطاقات خارجية
4. إخطار جميع المستخدمين الذين لديهم بيانات اعتماد الوصول إلى قاعدة البيانات لمراقبة الوصول غير المصرح به

إرشادات التصحيح:
1. تطبيق التصحيح المتاح من Quatuor/Gabinete Técnico de Programación فوراً
2. اختبار التصحيح في بيئة غير الإنتاج أولاً
3. جدولة نافذة صيانة لنشر الإنتاج
4. التحقق من تطبيق التصحيح بفحص إصدار التطبيق وتشغيل ماسح الثغرات

الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر نشر التصحيح):
1. تطبيق قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحجب أنماط حقن SQL في معامل 'txAny'
2. تطبيق قواعد التحقق من الإدخال: قائمة بيضاء للأحرف المسموحة، رفض أحرف SQL الخاصة
3. تطبيق تسجيل المراقبة لاستعلامات قاعدة البيانات والبحث عن أنماط مريبة
4. تقييد الاتصالات الخارجية DNS و HTTP من خوادم التطبيقات
5. تطبيق مبدأ أقل امتياز على حسابات خدمة قاعدة البيانات

قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة كلمات SQL الرئيسية في معامل 'txAny': UNION و SELECT و INSERT و DELETE و EXEC و DECLARE
2. تنبيه استعلامات DNS الخارجية من خوادم التطبيقات إلى نطاقات مريبة
3. مراقبة أنماط اتصال قاعدة البيانات غير العادية أو استعلامات استخراج البيانات
4. تتبع طلبات HTTP التي تحتوي على بناء جملة SQL المشفرة في المعاملات
5. مراقبة مؤشرات حقن SQL المستندة إلى الوقت (تأخيرات الاستعلام غير العادية)
