Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ADOdb up to 5.22.8. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function pg_insert_id of the component Query Parameter Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89.

Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

ADOdb is a PHP database class library that provides abstractions for performing queries and managing databases. Prior to version 5.22.9, improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a PostgreSQL database and calls pg_insert_id() with user-supplied data. This issue has been patched in version 5.22.9.
