Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.62% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 50% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Fineract 1.16.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache Fineract 1.16.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ("SQL Injection") vulnerability exists in Apache Fineract (through version 1.15.0). The vulnerability affects the outStandingAmountPercentageCondition parameter of the /fineract-provider/api/v1/search/advance HTTP API endpoint, allowing SQL injection due to insufficient input neutralization. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.16.1, which will fix the issue.
