Unauthenticated database disclosure via idt SQL injection
Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
SQL injection in Nortek Linear eMerge E3-Series firmware allows remote attackers to read administrator credentials through the idt parameter. The unauthenticated badge_template_print.php endpoint places idt into an SQLite query, allowing UNION SELECT clauses to return firmware records and controller IDs and passwords in the HTTP response. Network access to the web interface is sufficient; the demonstrated consequence is database disclosure, including administrative credentials.
