Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Koha Community Koha up to 24.11.17/25.05.12/25.11.06/26.05.01 and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the file patroncards/create-pdf.pl. The manipulation of the argument image_name with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A stored SQL injection vulnerability in Koha through 24.11.17, 25.05.12, 25.11.06, and 26.05.01 allows authenticated staff with the tools => label_creator permission to execute arbitrary SQL via the image_name field of a patron card layout. The image_name value is stored verbatim in the layout XML and later concatenated raw into a SQL query in patroncards/create-pdf.pl when a patron card batch is printed. An attacker can read the entire Koha database including patron PII and staff bcrypt password hashes via error-based or time-based blind injection.
