DescriptionCVE.org

An low privileged remote attacker can exploit an unauthenticated SQL Injection vulnerability in the saveObjectFromData function due to improper neutralization of special elements in a SQL SELECT command. This can result in a total loss of confidentiality.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in the MB connect line mbCONNECT24 / myREX24 family of industrial remote-maintenance gateways (all listed editions through 2.20.0) lets a low-privileged remote user feed crafted input into a SQL SELECT statement assembled by the saveObjectFromData function, exposing the full backend database for reading. Reported by CERT@VDE (advisory VDE-2026-044, EUVD-2026-32134), the issue is a confidentiality-only impact (CVSS 4.0 base 7.1, VC:H/VI:N/VA:N). No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing exist at this time, and EPSS is very low (0.03%, 11th percentile), indicating no observed mass exploitation.

Technical ContextAI

The affected products - mbCONNECT24, mymbCONNECT24, myREX24V2 and myREX24V2.virtual - are web-managed industrial remote-access/VPN platforms used to reach machinery and OT assets remotely. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the server-side saveObjectFromData routine concatenates attacker-controllable values directly into a SQL SELECT query without parameterization or escaping, so injected syntax is interpreted as part of the query. Because the impacted statement is a SELECT and the CVSS vector marks only confidentiality as affected (VI:N/VA:N), the practical effect is database read/exfiltration (UNION/boolean/blind extraction) rather than data modification or destruction.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data; the affected range is bounded at and below 2.20.0, so consult CERT@VDE advisory VDE-2026-044 (https://www.certvde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2026-044/) for the corrected release and upgrade all instances of mbCONNECT24, mymbCONNECT24, myREX24V2 and myREX24V2.virtual accordingly. Until a fixed build is applied, reduce exposure by restricting reachability of the management web portal to trusted networks or a VPN/jump host and placing these gateways behind firewall rules rather than exposing them to the internet (trade-off: may complicate legitimate remote-maintenance workflows), and by tightening account provisioning so only necessary low-privilege users exist and credentials are rotated, since the documented vector involves a low-privileged user (trade-off: added administrative overhead). Monitor application and database logs for anomalous SELECT patterns or errors originating from the object-save functionality.
