📄 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_objetivos_anyo_sig_ver_auto.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
A high-severity out-of-band SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-1481, CVSS 7.5) exists 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 to organizations using this system. A patch is available and should be deployed immediately to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability poses significant risk to Saudi government entities and public sector organizations that utilize the EDD Performance Evaluation application for employee assessment and HR management. Government agencies under NCA oversight, particularly those managing sensitive personnel data and performance metrics, face direct exposure. Additionally, large Saudi enterprises and educational institutions using this system for performance management could experience unauthorized access to confidential employee information, salary data, and evaluation records. The out-of-band nature of the attack makes detection challenging, increasing the risk window for data exfiltration.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all instances of the EDD application in your environment and document their locations
2. Restrict network access to the affected '/evaluacion_objetivos_anyo_sig_ver_auto.aspx' endpoint using WAF rules or network segmentation
3. Implement input validation rules blocking SQL metacharacters in the 'Id_usuario' parameter
4. Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring of database queries for suspicious patterns
PATCHING:
1. Apply the available patch from Quatuor/Gabinete Técnico de Programación immediately
2. Test the patch in a non-production environment first
3. Schedule patching during maintenance windows with minimal business impact
4. Verify patch application by confirming version updates in application settings
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
1. Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts
2. Implement database activity monitoring (DAM) to detect unauthorized queries
3. Restrict database user privileges to minimum necessary permissions
4. Disable outbound DNS/HTTP connections from database servers to prevent OOB exfiltration
5. Implement network segmentation isolating the application from external networks
DETECTION:
1. Monitor for SQL keywords in 'Id_usuario' parameter: UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, DROP, EXEC, SCRIPT
2. Alert on unusual database connection patterns or queries from application service accounts
3. Track DNS queries and HTTP requests originating from database servers
4. Review application logs for error messages indicating SQL syntax issues
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. حدد جميع نسخ تطبيق EDD في بيئتك وقم بتوثيق مواقعها
2. قيد الوصول إلى نقطة النهاية المتأثرة '/evaluacion_objetivos_anyo_sig_ver_auto.aspx' باستخدام قواعد WAF أو تقسيم الشبكة
3. طبق قواعد التحقق من صحة الإدخال لحظر أحرف SQL الخاصة في معامل 'Id_usuario'
4. فعّل السجلات الشاملة ومراقبة استعلامات قاعدة البيانات للأنماط المريبة
التصحيح:
1. طبق التصحيح المتاح من Quatuor/Gabinete Técnico de Programación فوراً
2. اختبر التصحيح في بيئة غير الإنتاج أولاً
3. جدول التصحيح خلال نوافذ الصيانة بأقل تأثير على العمل
4. تحقق من تطبيق التصحيح بتأكيد تحديثات الإصدار في إعدادات التطبيق
الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
1. نشر قواعد جدار حماية تطبيقات الويب (WAF) للكشف عن محاولات حقن SQL وحظرها
2. تطبيق مراقبة نشاط قاعدة البيانات (DAM) للكشف عن الاستعلامات غير المصرح بها
3. تقييد امتيازات مستخدم قاعدة البيانات للحد الأدنى الضروري
4. تعطيل الاتصالات الخارجية DNS/HTTP من خوادم قاعدة البيانات لمنع التسرب خارج النطاق
5. تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة لعزل التطبيق عن الشبكات الخارجية
الكشف:
1. راقب كلمات SQL الرئيسية في معامل 'Id_usuario': UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, DROP, EXEC, SCRIPT
2. تنبيه الأنماط غير العادية لاتصالات قاعدة البيانات أو الاستعلامات من حسابات خدمة التطبيق
3. تتبع استعلامات DNS وطلبات HTTP الناشئة من خوادم قاعدة البيانات
4. راجع سجلات التطبيق للرسائل التي تشير إلى مشاكل بناء جملة SQL
