Summary
CVE-2026-18765 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability affecting Teracity Software Technologies Inc.’s E-OSB platform. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL queries against the backend database. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical).
Technical details
- Root cause: E-OSB fails to properly sanitize or parameterize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL statements (CWE-89, mapped to CAPEC-66 – SQL Injection).
- Trigger conditions: An attacker submits crafted input containing malicious SQL syntax to a vulnerable E-OSB interface; no authentication or user interaction is required to trigger the flaw.
- Attack vector: Network — the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network without any prerequisite access or privileges.
- Impact: Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized read/write access to the underlying database, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data (all rated High under CVSS).
Affected software
- Teracity Software Technologies Inc. — E-OSB: all versions before V02.26.07.08.01
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade E-OSB to version V02.26.07.08.01 or later, which addresses the SQL injection flaw.
- If patching cannot be performed immediately:
- Restrict network access to E-OSB management and application interfaces to trusted internal networks or VPN only, minimizing exposure to the public internet.
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection/blocking rules in front of E-OSB until the patch can be applied.
- Monitor database and application logs for anomalous query patterns or errors indicative of SQL injection attempts.
- Apply the principle of least privilege to database service accounts used by E-OSB to limit the potential blast radius of a successful injection.
