Summary
SQL Injection vulnerability in Quest NetVault Backup allows remote code execution. The flaw exists in the NVBUDeviceDrive component during JSON-RPC message processing, where lack of user input validation leads to SQL injection. Authentication is required but can be bypassed.
Risk Assessment
Risk for the organization includes remote takeover of the backup server in the context of NETWORK SERVICE, potentially leading to data theft, modification, or disruption of backup operations.
Recommendation
Immediately update Quest NetVault Backup to the latest patched version. Until then, restrict management interface access to trusted IPs and enforce strong multi-factor authentication.
