Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in TandoorRecipes recipes up to 2.5.x. This affects an unknown functionality of the component Recipe API Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Tandoor Recipes is an application for managing recipes, planning meals, and building shopping lists. In versions prior to 2.6.0, the Recipe API endpoint exposes a hidden `?debug=true` query parameter that returns the complete raw SQL query being executed, including all table names, column names, JOIN relationships, WHERE conditions (revealing access control logic), and multi-tenant space IDs. This parameter works even when Django's `DEBUG=False` (production mode) and is accessible to any authenticated user regardless of their privilege level. This allows a low-privilege attacker to map the entire database schema and reverse-engineer the authorization model. Version 2.6.0 patches the issue.
