7.2
🔗 NVD Official
📄 Description (English)

Due to the improper neutralisation of special elements used in an OS command, a remote attacker can exploit an RCE vulnerability in the generateSrpArray function, resulting in full system compromise.
This vulnerability can only be attacked if the attacker has some other way to write arbitrary data to the user table.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

CVE-2026-33613 is a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability (CVSS 7.2) in the generateSrpArray function caused by improper OS command neutralization (CWE-78). Exploitation requires prior write access to user table data, making it a secondary attack vector in multi-stage compromise scenarios. No patch is currently available, requiring immediate compensating controls and monitoring.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
Saudi banking sector (SAMA-regulated institutions) faces significant risk if this vulnerability exists in core banking systems or customer management platforms. Government agencies (NCA oversight) managing citizen databases are at elevated risk. Telecom operators (STC, Mobily) handling subscriber data and healthcare providers managing patient records could be compromised. Energy sector (ARAMCO, utilities) systems with user management functions are vulnerable. The attack requires initial database write access, suggesting insider threats or prior compromise as prerequisites in Saudi organizational contexts.

Banking and Financial Services Government and Public Administration Healthcare and Medical Services Energy and Utilities Telecommunications E-commerce and Retail Education Insurance
⚖️ Saudi Risk Score (AI)
7.8
/ 10.0
🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Identify all systems using generateSrpArray function or SRP-based authentication
2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding for all user table writes
3. Enable database activity monitoring (DAM) to detect unauthorized user table modifications
4. Restrict database write permissions using principle of least privilege

Compensating Controls (until patch available):
5. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect OS command injection patterns
6. Implement command execution monitoring and alerting on affected systems
7. Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks where possible
8. Enforce multi-factor authentication to reduce lateral movement risk
9. Monitor system logs for suspicious process execution from web application contexts

Detection Rules:
10. Alert on: user table INSERT/UPDATE operations from unexpected sources
11. Monitor for: shell metacharacters (|, ;, &, $, `, >, <) in user table data
12. Track: process execution spawned by application service accounts
13. Log all database connection attempts and privilege escalations

Patching Strategy:
14. Subscribe to vendor security advisories for patch availability
15. Prepare isolated test environment for patch validation
16. Develop rollback procedures before production deployment
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع الأنظمة التي تستخدم دالة generateSrpArray أو المصادقة القائمة على SRP
2. تطبيق التحقق من صحة الإدخال والترميز الآمن لجميع عمليات كتابة جدول المستخدمين
3. تفعيل مراقبة نشاط قاعدة البيانات (DAM) للكشف عن التعديلات غير المصرح بها
4. تقييد صلاحيات كتابة قاعدة البيانات باستخدام مبدأ الحد الأدنى من الامتيازات

الضوابط التعويضية (حتى توفر التصحيح):
5. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) للكشف عن أنماط حقن أوامر نظام التشغيل
6. تطبيق مراقبة تنفيذ الأوامر والتنبيهات على الأنظمة المتأثرة
7. عزل الأنظمة المتأثرة عن الشبكات غير الموثوقة إن أمكن
8. فرض المصادقة متعددة العوامل لتقليل مخاطر الحركة الجانبية
9. مراقبة سجلات النظام للكشف عن تنفيذ العمليات المريبة من سياقات تطبيقات الويب

قواعد الكشف:
10. التنبيه على: عمليات INSERT/UPDATE في جدول المستخدمين من مصادر غير متوقعة
11. مراقبة: أحرف shell الخاصة (|، ;، &، $، `، >، <) في بيانات جدول المستخدمين
12. تتبع: تنفيذ العمليات التي تنشأ من حسابات خدمة التطبيق
13. تسجيل جميع محاولات الاتصال بقاعدة البيانات وتصعيد الامتيازات

استراتيجية التصحيح:
14. الاشتراك في تنبيهات أمان المورد لتوفر التصحيحات
15. تحضير بيئة اختبار معزولة للتحقق من صحة التصحيح
16. تطوير إجراءات التراجع قبل النشر في الإنتاج
