SQL Injection Vulnerability in HAVELSAN Sef AI Chatbot Platform

HAVELSAN Sef - AI Chatbot Platform versions prior to 2.1 contain an SQL injection vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-80298. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands within the application's input processing logic. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to inject malicious SQL queries, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive application data, database modification, or full administrative control over the backend database. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations deploying the platform, as it can be exploited via standard HTTP requests to the application interface. Organizations should prioritize updating to version 2.1 or later to remediate this flaw.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass authentication mechanisms and interact directly with the application's backend database. This may lead to the unauthorized exfiltration of proprietary chatbot data, user credentials, or system configurations, and in some configurations, could permit the modification or deletion of existing records. The scope of impact is limited to the data accessible by the application's database service account.

Recommendation

• Upgrade HAVELSAN Sef - AI Chatbot Platform to version 2.1 or later immediately to address CVE-2026-80298.
• Review web application firewall logs for signs of SQL injection patterns such as unauthorized unions, comment sequences, or tautologies targeting the platform's API endpoints.
• Audit database service account privileges to ensure the application connects to the backend with the minimum necessary permissions required for its function.
