MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated DriveLock account (CVSS PR:L) with network reachability to the DriveLock web service on TCP port 4568, which is the default listening port. The concrete prerequisite is the ability to send a request carrying an attacker-controlled string to the vulnerable web-service endpoint that builds SQL queries. Limiting factors: a valid low-privilege login is mandatory (no unauthenticated path exists), and reachability to port 4568 is needed, so environments that firewall or segment that port to trusted admin hosts substantially reduce exposure; no user interaction is required (UI:N). |
| Impact | The signals are moderately concerning but not emergency-grade. The CVSS 3.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) indicates a low-complexity, network-reachable attack with full CIA impact, but PR:L means the attacker must already hold a valid low-privilege DriveLock account, narrowing the realistic attacker pool to insiders or those with stolen/weak credentials. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. It is not listed in CISA KEV and no public POC is referenced, so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation - current risk is coordinated-disclosure/theoretical rather than observed. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net: prioritize patching where the DriveLock web service is broadly network-exposed, but the authentication requirement makes mass unauthenticated exploitation unlikely absent further data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privilege DriveLock account (or valid stolen credentials) connects to the web service on TCP 4568 and submits a request containing a crafted string parameter. Because that string is concatenated into a SQL query without validation, the injected syntax manipulates the query to grant access to records and resources the account should not reach, escalating effective privileges. No public POC is referenced, but the low attack complexity means a working exploit would be straightforward to develop once the injectable parameter is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 29, 2026
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).
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.

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.

DescriptionCVE.org
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.
Executive ViewAI
DriveLock privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-5490, CVSS 8.8) enables authenticated users to bypass access controls and reach resources restricted from their account via SQL injection in the web service. Organizations running DriveLock require immediate interim controls to prevent insider abuse of this access-escalation flaw.
No vendor-released patch or public exploit identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network access to DriveLock TCP port 4568 to authorized personnel only; conduct privilege audit and enforce principle of least privilege on DriveLock accounts; enable SQL injection detection on web application firewall or database if available; implement detailed logging and alerting on authentication and privilege-escalation attempts; perform bi-weekly review of DriveLock user access and privilege levels to detect unauthorized changes.
