Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-19 15:31 – Updated: 2026-05-19 15:31
VLAI
Details
Sparx Enterprise Architect software has a security feature that limits user's actions to those specified in the role. An authenticated attacker can modify the Enterprise Architect client behavior (e.g. using a debugger) and log in as any other user or administrator - then it is possible to do every possible change to the repository.
The vendor was notified early about this vulnerability, but didn't respond with the details of vulnerability or vulnerable version range. Only version 17.1 and below were tested and confirmed as vulnerable, other versions were not tested and might also be vulnerable.

Details
NMIS/BioDose V22.02 and previous versions rely on a common SQL Server user account to access data in the database. User access in the client application is restricted by a password authentication check in the client software but the underlying database connection always has access. The latest version of NMIS/BioDose introduces an option to use Windows user authentication with the database, which would restrict this database connection.
