The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the RockOA 2.7.0 web interface and the ability to send requests to the inputAction.php getselectdataAjax endpoint with a controllable actstr parameter; per the CVSS vector no authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are required. The only stated limiting factors are the AV:A designation in the provided vector (suggesting adjacent-network rather than full internet reach - though this conflicts with a typical web-app SQLi and should be verified) and the requirement that the vulnerable 2.7.0 version be deployed and the endpoint accessible to the attacker.

Impact

This is a genuine but relatively low-urgency issue. The CWE-89 SQL injection in RockOA 2.7.0's getselectdataAjax function (inputAction.php, actstr parameter) is confirmed by a publicly available exploit referenced from the vendor's own GitHub issue tracker (rainrocka/xinhu issue #13), so publicly available exploit code exists - but there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (4.3, AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) is internally inconsistent with the description: it specifies AV:A (adjacent network) and only C:L (low confidentiality), yet the description claims extraction of administrator accounts, password hashes, and full database structure, which for a web-facing PHP application normally implies AV:N (network) and C:H - verify the attack vector and confidentiality magnitude with the source, as the input scoring appears to understate impact. The combination of a public POC against an unauthenticated (PR:N) network-reachable endpoint raises real risk for any exposed instance, but the product's limited deployment footprint keeps this well below the priority of a comparable flaw in ubiquitous software.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach a RockOA 2.7.0 web instance sends a crafted request to inputAction.php's getselectdataAjax endpoint with a malicious actstr parameter, injecting SQL that is returned in the response. A public proof-of-concept exists, and because the CVSS vector lists PR:N the attack requires no authentication, letting the attacker dump administrator credentials and password hashes directly from the database.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026

SQL injection in Xinhu Rainrock RockOA 2.7.0 lets unauthenticated network-reachable attackers extract sensitive database contents-including administrator accounts and password hashes-through the actstr parameter in inputAction.php's getselectdataAjax function. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the assessed impact is primarily high confidentiality loss; no CISA KEV entry was provided, so active exploitation is not confirmed.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version was identified in the provided data, so prioritize compensating controls. Restrict network access to the RockOA web interface, especially inputAction.php and the getselectdataAjax endpoint, using VPN, IP allowlisting or a reverse proxy; this reduces exposure but may inconvenience legitimate remote users. Add WAF or reverse-proxy rules that reject SQL metacharacters or suspicious actstr payloads, understanding that filtering can be bypassed and may cause false positives. Run the RockOA database account with least privilege and rotate administrator credentials and password hashes if compromise is suspected. Monitor web logs for anomalous actstr parameters, and consider upgrading to a later RockOA release only after confirming with the vendor that it contains the fix; the public reference is https://github.com/rainrocka/xinhu/issues/13.

Technical ContextAI · show details

RockOA is a PHP-based office automation web application. The vulnerable path is inputAction.php's getselectdataAjax function, where the actstr request parameter reaches SQL query construction without proper parameterization, a CWE-89 SQL injection. The provided CPE cpe:2.3:a:rockoa:rockoa:2.7.0 identifies the affected release, and the assessed vector indicates PR:N/UI:N, meaning an attacker who can reach the web interface does not need credentials or user interaction. Successful injection can disclose administrator accounts, password hashes, database schema and other backend data, which is consistent with the assessed high confidentiality impact; integrity and availability impacts are not assessed.
