Two Greek researchers managed to identify a security gap in the webσελίδα of the NSA – (National Security Agency), which allowed them to use the SQL technique injection and gain access to base data of the organization.
Researchers Dimitris Hatzidimitris and Anastasis Vassiliadis on 20/03/2020 identified a vulnerability in the security of the website: https://www.nsa.gov
The vulnerability is of SQL Injection type and the link for this vulnerability remains at the disposal of our editorial team.
Some of the elements of vulnerability:
Parameter: ver
Method: (GET)
Type: boolean-based blind
Title: AND boolean-based blind - WHERE or HAVING clause
Database: Microsoft_Access_mast ****
Which contains 2 tables encoded!
Researchers Dimitris Hatzidimitris and Anastasis Vassiliadis report:
After that we did not proceed to a possible access to the server beyond the base since we had already confirmed the weakness in better safety of the page.
The NSA was notified in time for the security breach on 20/03/2020 and to date has not made any repairs preventing a possible leak of personal data from malicious third parties.
The information they remain available to those directly interested, from the researchers themselves but also from our editorial team.
Information about vulnerabilities discovered in organizations is considered extremely necessary (especially when they exist on highly visited websites), and for us they are an immediate priority.
We hope that in this way, i.e. the immediate exposure of each vulnerability, we contribute to a safernetwork.
