In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2024.0.1, a SQL Injection vulnerability allows an authenticated low-privileged user (at least Report Viewer permissions required) to achieve privilege escalation to the admin account.
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.
