Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

CVE-2023-47637

High
8.8/10

Summary

Pimcore is an Open Source Data and Experience Management Platform. In affected versions prior to 11.1.1 the `/admin/object/grid-proxy` endpoint calls `getFilterCondition()` on fields of classes to be filtered for, passing input from the request, and later executes the returned SQL. One implementation of `getFilterCondition()` is in `Multiselect`, which does not "normalize/escape/validate" the passed value. Any backend user with very basic permissions can execute arbitrary SQL statements and thus alter any data or escalate their privileges to at least the admin level. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

CWE-89 - SQL Injection

Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks are one of the most common types of vulnerabilities. They exploit weaknesses in vulnerable applications to gain unauthorized access to backend databases. This often occurs when an attacker enters unexpected SQL syntax in an input field. The resulting SQL statement behaves in the background in an unintended manner, which allows the possibility of unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, execution of database administration operations, and execution of commands on the operating system.
