Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in SuiteCRM up to 7.15.1/8.10.1. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function CasesController.action_get_kb_articles of the component Cases Module. The manipulation of the argument search with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the CasesController action_get_kb_articles action interpolates $_POST['search'] into a CASE WHEN ... LIKE expression and the SQL WHERE clause. Although securexss() normally entity-encodes quotes, an input prefixed with an XSS payload makes AntiXSS select a processed string instead of the encoded backup, allowing a literal quote to reach the query. A low-privileged user with Cases module access can perform blind SQL injection and extract sensitive database information. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.
