Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Kmaleon 1.1.0.205 has an authenticated SQL injection flaw. A logged-in attacker could interfere with database queries and potentially read sensitive case or client data. Public exploit information exists, but the provided sources do not show active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority issue if Kmaleon stores client, legal, or business-sensitive records. Prioritize exposed or broadly accessible deployments. If Kmaleon is not in use, document non-exposure and move on.
Technical view
CVE-2021-47766 is CWE-89 SQL injection in the tipocomb parameter of kmaleonW.php in Levelprograms Kmaleon 1.1.0.205. The CVSS 4.0 score is 7.1. The source bundle describes boolean-based, error-based, and time-based blind SQL injection impacts, with high confidentiality impact and low integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most relevant where Kmaleon 1.1.0.205 is reachable by authenticated users. Internet-facing deployments, shared user accounts, or weak account controls increase risk. The sources do not identify other affected versions.
Exploitation context
ExploitDB lists public exploit material for this issue. However, CISA KEV status is false in the provided bundle, and no cited source confirms active exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record, CVE List entry, ExploitDB reference, and archived product page. No official patch details are included in the provided sources. Avoid assuming affected versions beyond 1.1.0.205.
Mitigation direction
- Check Levelprograms or maintainer guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.
- Limit Kmaleon access to trusted networks or VPN users where feasible.
- Review and reduce Kmaleon account privileges, especially database-related permissions.
- Monitor application and database logs for unusual authenticated query behavior.
- Back up Kmaleon databases before applying vendor-directed changes.
Validation and detection
- Inventory systems running Levelprograms Kmaleon.
- Confirm whether version 1.1.0.205 is deployed.
- Identify whether kmaleonW.php is reachable by authenticated users.
- Review logs for suspicious requests involving the tipocomb parameter.
- Verify whether vendor guidance or an update has been applied.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
