Alienvault · Alienvault Ossim · CVE-2013-5321
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
AlienVault Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) version 4.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can be achieved through various parameters in different PHP files, including the `sensor` parameter in a Query action to "forensics/base qry main.php", the `tcp flags[]` or `tcp port[0][4]` parameters to "forensics/base stat alerts.php", the `ip addr[1][8]` or `port type` parameters to "forensics/base stat ports.php", or the `sortby` or `rvalue` parameters in a search action to "vulnmeter/index.php".
**Recommendations**
For AlienVault Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) version 4.1, consider disabling the vulnerable parameters `sensor`, `tcp flags[]`, `tcp port[0][4]`, `ip addr[1][8]`, `port type`, `sortby`, and `rvalue` in their respective PHP files until a patch is available. Restrict access to the affected PHP files, such as "forensics/base qry main.php", "forensics/base stat alerts.php", "forensics/base stat ports.php", and "vulnmeter/index.php", to minimize the risk of exploitation.
