CVE-2012-5861
CWE-89Published: November 23, 2012· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
These Sinapsi devices do not check the validity of the data before
executing queries. By accessing the SQL table of certain pages that do
not require authentication within the device, attackers can leak
information from the device. This could allow the attacker to compromise
confidentiality.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-5861 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2012-5861. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-89): SQL injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing or modifying sensitive data.
