DriveLock SQL Injection Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of DriveLock. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the web service, which listens on TCP port 4568 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the user. . Was ZDI-CAN-28726.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in DriveLock via SQL injection lets authenticated remote attackers reach resources normally protected from their account. The flaw lives in the DriveLock web service listening on TCP port 4568 by default, where a user-supplied string is concatenated into a SQL query without proper validation (CWE-89), and it carries a CVSS 8.8. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, though it was discovered and coordinated through the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI-CAN-28726 / ZDI-26-286).
Technical ContextAI
DriveLock is an endpoint-security / device-control and DLP platform whose management stack exposes a web service on TCP 4568 by default. The root cause is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection: input received by that web service is placed into a SQL statement without parameterization or sanitization, so attacker-controlled syntax alters the query executed against the backend database. Because the affected component mediates authorization, manipulating these queries lets an attacker read or influence records tied to access control, turning a data-layer flaw into a privilege-escalation primitive. The only affected-product identifier supplied is cpe:2.3:a:drivelock:drivelock:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which does not pin any version range.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor fix described in DriveLock Security Bulletin 26-002 (https://drivelock.help/sb/Content/SecurityBulletins/26-002-SQLInjection.htm); an exact patched version number was not included in the provided data, so identify and deploy the fixed release named in that bulletin (Patch available per vendor advisory). As compensating controls until patched, restrict network access to the DriveLock web service on TCP 4568 to trusted management hosts only via host/network firewall rules or segmentation (trade-off: legitimate remote-administration paths must be enumerated and allow-listed or they will break), and tighten account hygiene - since exploitation needs an authenticated low-privilege account, enforce strong, rotated credentials and remove unnecessary accounts to shrink the attacker pool. Cross-reference the ZDI advisory (https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-286/) for coordinated-disclosure details.
