Logo. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system provides a reference method for publicly known information-security vulnerabilities and exposures. [1] The United States' National Cybersecurity FFRDC, operated by The MITRE Corporation, maintains the system, with funding from the US National Cyber Security Division of the US Department of Homeland Security.

The program exploited a buffer overflow bug in Microsoft's SQL Server and Desktop Engine database products. Although the MS02-039 (CVE-2002-0649) [2] patch had been released six months earlier, many organizations had not yet applied it. The most infected regions were Europe, North America, and Asia (including East Asia and India). [3]
Shellshock, also known as Bashdoor, [1] is a family of security bugs [2] in the Unix Bash shell, the first of which was disclosed on 24 September 2014.Shellshock could enable an attacker to cause Bash to execute arbitrary commands and gain unauthorized access [3] to many Internet-facing services, such as web servers, that use Bash to process requests.
It was later discovered in November 2014 that the attack could be executed even if the ISS Server was set to ignore SSL Certificates, as the function was still ran regardless. Microsoft Office, [ 9 ] and Remote Desktop software in Windows could also be exploited in the same way, even though it did not support SSL encryption at the time.
A classification of SQL injection attacking vector as of 2010. In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker).
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) logo. The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a category system for hardware and software weaknesses and vulnerabilities.It is sustained by a community project with the goals of understanding flaws in software and hardware and creating automated tools that can be used to identify, fix, and prevent those flaws.

The Open Sourced Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) was an independent and open-sourced vulnerability database. The goal of the project was to provide accurate, detailed, current, and unbiased technical information on security vulnerabilities. [1] The project promoted greater and more open collaboration between companies and individuals.
The database user of the online shop software only has read access to the database. Further the injection is in a view of the shop which is only visible to registered customers. The CVSS 4.0 base vector is as follows. AV:N as the vulnerability can be triggered over the web
