CVE-2024-0851: SQLi in Grup Arge Energy and Control Systems's Smartpower
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Grup Arge Energy and Control Systems Smartpower allows SQL Injection.
This issue affects Smartpower: through V24.05.27.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2024-0851 is a critical SQL injection flaw in Grup Arge Energy and Control Systems Smartpower. The CVE states Smartpower through V24.05.27 is affected. An unauthenticated network attacker could potentially access or change database-backed data and disrupt availability. No cited source confirms active exploitation.
Executive priority
Prioritize within the next remediation cycle, faster for internet-facing or operationally critical Smartpower systems. The business concern is unauthorized data access, data tampering, and service disruption. Do not wait for exploitation confirmation if exposed systems are present.
Technical view
The vulnerability is CWE-89 SQL Injection caused by improper neutralization of SQL command elements. CVSS 4.0 is 10.0 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The record reports high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Public sources do not provide endpoint details, exploit mechanics, or a named patch.
Likely exposure
Organizations using Grup Arge Smartpower, especially deployments reachable from untrusted networks, should treat this as high exposure. The affected range is stated as through V24.05.27, though provided CVE affected-version metadata is limited and inconsistent.
Exploitation context
This is not listed in CISA KEV in the provided data, and cited sources do not state active exploitation. Risk remains significant because the CVSS vector indicates remote, unauthenticated exploitation with full impact if a vulnerable instance is reachable.
Researcher notes
Public detail is sparse. The CVE description names Smartpower through V24.05.27, while the structured affected field in the bundle is not very informative. No exploit details, patch version, or active-exploitation evidence are present in the provided sources.
Mitigation direction
Identify all Smartpower deployments and owners.
Check Grup Arge and Turkish government advisory pages for updates or patches.
If no fix is available, restrict Smartpower access to trusted networks only.
Place affected systems behind VPN, firewall rules, or equivalent access controls.
Increase database and application logging for Smartpower until remediated.
Validation and detection
Confirm whether Smartpower is installed and determine its exact version.
Flag any instance running Smartpower through V24.05.27.
Verify whether the service is reachable from the internet or partner networks.
Review application and database logs for SQL errors or unusual query patterns.
Track vendor or official advisory updates for remediation confirmation.

CWE-89: Database access and collection lookup
Injection into data stores can inform collection, data access, and exfiltration detection reviews. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
