DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation and Exposure of sensitive information through data queries vulnerability in Genians Genian NAC V4.0, Genians Genian NAC V5.0, and Genians Genian ZTNA V6.0 allows SQL Injection and Authentication Bypass.

This issue affects Genian NAC V4.0: from 4.0.0 before 4.0.175(Revision 150340); Genian NAC V5.0: from 5.0.0 before 5.0.65 LTS(Revision 150331), from 5.0.0 before 5.0.75 LTS(Revision 150330), from 5.0.0 before 5.0.87 Release Stable(Revision 150329), and from 5.0.0 before 5.0.88(Revision 150328); Genian ZTNA V6.0: from 6.0.0 before 6.0.26 LTS(Revision 150337), from 6.0.0 before 6.0.35 LTS(Revision 150336), from 6.0.0 before 6.0.47 Release Stable(Revision 150334), and from 6.0.0 before 6.0.48(Revision 150333).

AnalysisAI

SQL injection and authentication bypass in Genians Genian NAC (V4.0, V5.0) and ZTNA (V6.0) expose sensitive backend data to remote unauthenticated attackers via crafted data queries. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special attack prerequisites, consistent with the authentication bypass tag. …
