📄 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 'Id_usuario’ in '/evaluacion_competencias_evalua.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-2026-1473 is a high-severity out-of-band SQL injection vulnerability in the Performance Evaluation (EDD) application affecting the 'Id_usuario' 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 across all affected instances.

📄 Description (Arabic)

🤖 AI Intelligence Analysis Analyzed: May 3, 2026 10:19
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability poses significant risk to Saudi government entities and public sector organizations that utilize the EDD application for employee performance evaluation. Government agencies under NCA oversight, particularly those managing human resources and personnel data, face exposure of sensitive employee information including personal identifiers and performance records. Banking sector organizations using similar evaluation systems may also be affected. The OOB SQLi technique bypasses traditional WAF detection, making it particularly dangerous in Saudi enterprise environments with standard security controls.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
- Identify all instances of the EDD application in your environment
- Isolate affected systems from external network access if possible
- Enable enhanced logging on database servers to detect OOB SQLi attempts
- Review database access logs for suspicious external connections

2. PATCHING:
- Apply the available patch to all EDD application instances immediately
- Test patch in non-production environment first
- Schedule maintenance window for production deployment
- Verify patch installation and application restart

3. COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in 'Id_usuario' parameter
- Apply input validation and parameterized queries at application level
- Restrict database user permissions to least privilege principle
- Disable outbound DNS/HTTP connections from database servers
- Monitor for OOB SQLi indicators (DNS queries, HTTP requests from DB server)

4. DETECTION RULES:
- Monitor for SQL keywords in 'Id_usuario' parameter (UNION, SELECT, EXEC, etc.)
- Alert on unexpected outbound connections from database servers
- Track database queries containing suspicious timing delays (WAITFOR, SLEEP)
- Monitor for DNS exfiltration patterns from database servers
- Log all parameter values passed to '/evaluacion_competencias_evalua.aspx'
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. الإجراءات الفورية:
- تحديد جميع نسخ تطبيق EDD في بيئتك
- عزل الأنظمة المتأثرة عن الوصول الخارجي إن أمكن
- تفعيل السجلات المحسّنة على خوادم قاعدة البيانات للكشف عن محاولات OOB SQLi
- مراجعة سجلات الوصول إلى قاعدة البيانات للاتصالات الخارجية المريبة

2. التصحيح:
- تطبيق التصحيح المتاح على جميع نسخ تطبيق EDD فوراً
- اختبار التصحيح في بيئة غير الإنتاج أولاً
- جدولة نافذة صيانة لنشر الإنتاج
- التحقق من تثبيت التصحيح وإعادة تشغيل التطبيق

3. الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
- تطبيق قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحجب أنماط حقن SQL في معامل 'Id_usuario'
- تطبيق التحقق من الإدخال والاستعلامات المعاملة على مستوى التطبيق
- تقييد أذونات مستخدم قاعدة البيانات بمبدأ أقل امتياز
- تعطيل الاتصالات الخارجية DNS/HTTP من خوادم قاعدة البيانات
- مراقبة مؤشرات OOB SQLi (استعلامات DNS، طلبات HTTP من خادم DB)

4. قواعد الكشف:
- مراقبة كلمات SQL في معامل 'Id_usuario' (UNION, SELECT, EXEC, إلخ)
- تنبيهات الاتصالات الخارجية غير المتوقعة من خوادم قاعدة البيانات
- تتبع استعلامات قاعدة البيانات التي تحتوي على تأخيرات توقيت مريبة (WAITFOR, SLEEP)
- مراقبة أنماط تسرب DNS من خوادم قاعدة البيانات
- تسجيل جميع قيم المعاملات التي تم تمريرها إلى '/evaluacion_competencias_evalua.aspx'
