How to Fix CVE-2022-3798

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/IBAX io/go ibax dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/IBAX-io/go-ibax fixed: 1.4.2 
Upgrade github.com/IBAX-io/go-ibax to 1.4.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/IBAX-io/go-ibax

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-3798, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/IBAX io/go ibax:

inspect dependencies for github.com/IBAX-io/go-ibax

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/IBAX io/go ibax in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In Github.com/IBAX io/go ibax, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in IBAX go-ibax. Affected is an unknown function of the file /api/v2/open/tablesInfo. The manipulation leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-212634 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
