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

CVE-2025-8264

High
7.9/10

Summary

The package z-push/z-push-dev versions from 2.3.0alpha2 prior to 2.7.6 are vulnerable to SQL Injection due to unparameterized queries in the IMAP backend. An attacker can inject malicious commands by manipulating the 'username' field in Basic Authentication. This allows the attacker to access, and potentially modify or delete, sensitive data from a linked third-party database. Note: This vulnerability affects Z-Push installations that utilize the IMAP backend and have the 'IMAP_FROM_SQL_QUERY' option configured. Mitigation: Change the configuration to use the default or LDAP option in 'backend/imap/config.php': php define('IMAP_DEFAULTFROM', ''); or php define('IMAP_DEFAULTFROM', 'ldap');

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.
