Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Masa CMS up to 7.2.9/7.3.14/7.4.9/7.5.2. This affects the function setAltTable of the file feedGateway.cfc. The manipulation of the argument altTable 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:

Masa CMS is an open source content management system. In versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.9, 7.3.0 through 7.3.14, 7.4.0 through 7.4.9, and 7.5.0 through 7.5.2, the unauthenticated JSON API accepts an altTable parameter that is stored via the setAltTable() method without validation or sanitization. This value is injected directly into a SQL FROM clause within feedGateway.cfc. An unauthenticated attacker can pass an arbitrary subquery into the altTable parameter to read sensitive data from any table in the database in a single HTTP request, including administrative credentials and password reset tokens. This issue has been fixed in versions 7.2.10, 7.3.15, 7.4.10, and 7.5.3. As a workaround, apply validation to the setAltTable function in core/mura/content/feed/feedBean.cfc to restrict input to simple alphanumeric table names, or disable the JSON API if it is not required.
