Official description
Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled SQL Primary Key vulnerability in DATABASE Software Training Consulting Ltd. Databank Accreditation Software allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Databank Accreditation Software: before 2026/04.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled SQL Primary Key
The product uses a database table that includes records that should not be accessible to an actor, but it executes a SQL statement with a primary key that can be controlled by that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Modify the query to include a clause that performs an authorization check, or otherwise ensure that the check is performed before the query is executed.
- Assume all input is malicious. Use a standard input validation mechanism to validate all input for length, type, syntax, and business rules before accepting the data. Use an accept known good validation strategy.
- Use a parameterized query AND make sure that the accepted values conform to the business rules. Construct your SQL statement accordingly.
