CVE-2015-7564 in TeamPass
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in TeamPass 2.1.24 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) id parameter in an action_on_quick_icon action to item.query.php or the (2) order or (3) direction parameter in an (a) connections_logs, (b) errors_logs or (c) access_logs action to view.query.php.

The CVE-2015-7564 vulnerability represents a critical SQL injection flaw affecting TeamPass versions 2.1.24 and earlier, demonstrating a fundamental weakness in input validation and query construction within web applications. This vulnerability resides in the application's handling of user-supplied parameters within database queries, specifically targeting the item.query.php and view.query.php scripts. The flaw allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through three distinct parameter vectors, creating a significant attack surface that could lead to complete database compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of user input parameters within the application's backend processing logic. When attackers submit malicious input through the id parameter in the action_on_quick_icon action to item.query.php, or through the order and direction parameters in the connections_logs, errors_logs, or access_logs actions to view.query.php, the application fails to properly escape or validate these inputs before incorporating them into SQL queries. This lack of input validation creates an environment where attackers can manipulate the database query execution flow, potentially executing arbitrary SQL commands with the privileges of the database user.
The operational impact of CVE-2015-7564 extends beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation could enable attackers to escalate privileges, modify or delete database records, and potentially gain access to other system resources. The vulnerability's remote nature means attackers do not require physical access to the system, making it particularly dangerous for web applications that handle sensitive data. This type of vulnerability aligns with CWE-89, which specifically addresses SQL injection flaws, and maps to ATT&CK technique T1190, which covers exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications. The attack surface is further expanded by the fact that these parameters are likely exposed through standard web interfaces, making exploitation relatively straightforward for threat actors.
Organizations affected by this vulnerability should implement immediate mitigations including input validation and parameterized queries, while also applying the vendor-provided patches or upgrading to TeamPass versions 2.1.25 or later. The remediation process should involve comprehensive code review of all database interaction points to ensure proper input sanitization and output encoding. Additionally, implementing web application firewalls and database activity monitoring can provide additional layers of protection against similar vulnerabilities. The vulnerability demonstrates the critical importance of following secure coding practices and adhering to the principle of least privilege when designing database interactions within web applications.
