Summary
CVE-2026-7188 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability affecting the Access Control System (GKS) developed by Armiya Information Technologies Ltd. Co. The flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database due to improper neutralization of special elements in user-supplied input. With a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), successful exploitation can fully compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Technical details
- Root cause: The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize special characters supplied in input fields before incorporating them into SQL queries, classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command).
- Attack technique: Mapped to CAPEC-66 (SQL Injection), where crafted input manipulates the structure of backend SQL statements.
- Trigger conditions: No authentication or user interaction is required; an attacker only needs network access to a vulnerable instance of the Access Control System to submit malicious input.
- Attack vector: Network (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N).
- Impact: Exploitation can allow an attacker to read, modify, or delete data in the underlying database — including access control records, credentials, and logs — and potentially achieve full compromise of the system (High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact).
Affected software
- Armiya Information Technologies Ltd. Co. — Access Control System (GKS): all versions before Versiyon 2 (i.e., version "0" and earlier).
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
- Vector String:
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 the Armiya Access Control System to Versiyon 2 or later, which addresses this SQL injection issue.
- If patching is not immediately possible:
- Restrict network access to the Access Control System management interfaces to trusted, internal networks only; do not expose the system directly to the internet.
- Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection/blocking rules in front of the application as an interim compensating control.
- Monitor database and application logs for anomalous query patterns or error messages indicative of SQL injection attempts.
- Enforce the principle of least privilege on the database account used by the application to limit the blast radius of a successful injection.
