Nokia Broadcast Message Center through 11.1.0 allows an authenticated user to perform a Boolean Blind SQL Injection attack on the endpoint /owui/block/send-receive-updates (for the Manage Alerts page) via the extIdentifier HTTP POST parameter. This allows an attacker to obtain the database user, database name, and database version information, and potentially database data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2021-35487 is an authenticated SQL injection issue in Nokia Broadcast Message Center through 11.1.0. A logged-in user could use a Manage Alerts request parameter to infer database details and potentially access database data. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring, patch details, or confirmed exploitation.

Executive priority

Prioritize identification and access restriction now, especially in telecom or messaging environments where database data is sensitive. Escalate remediation planning if affected deployments are found, because the issue can expose internal database information and possibly data.

Technical view

The CVE describes Boolean blind SQL injection in /owui/block/send-receive-updates via the extIdentifier HTTP POST parameter. The stated impact includes disclosure of database user, database name, database version, and potentially database data. The source bundle lists no CWE, CVSS vector, fixed version, or detailed vendor remediation.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to organizations running Nokia Broadcast Message Center through 11.1.0 where an authenticated user can reach the Manage Alerts endpoint. The bundle does not establish internet exposure, default accessibility, or broader product impact.

Exploitation context

The source bundle states authenticated exploitation only. CISA KEV is false, and no cited source in the bundle confirms active exploitation or public exploit tooling. Treat exploitation status as unconfirmed.

Researcher notes

Evidence is sparse: the CVE record provides the vulnerable endpoint, parameter, authentication requirement, and general impact, but no CVSS, CWE, fixed version, exploit status, or detailed advisory. Avoid assuming unauthenticated, remote internet-scale exploitation without more evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Nokia guidance for fixed versions or supported compensating controls.
  • Restrict Broadcast Message Center access to trusted networks and necessary users.
  • Review roles allowed to access the Manage Alerts functionality.
  • Apply vendor-supported updates if Nokia identifies a fixed release.
  • Monitor application and database logs for unusual authenticated requests.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Nokia Broadcast Message Center deployments and confirm versions.
  • Identify whether any systems run version 11.1.0 or earlier.
  • Confirm who can authenticate to the Manage Alerts page.
  • Review logs for suspicious requests to /owui/block/send-receive-updates.
  • Use authorized testing only to confirm SQL injection exposure.
