CWE ID Description
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. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an SQL injection issue in Open Web Analytics (OWA) versions before 1.8.1. It allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code into the application by exploiting insufficient input sanitization in SQL query construction. This can lead to unauthorized manipulation of the database.

Impact Analysis

The SQL injection vulnerability can allow attackers with limited privileges to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL commands. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data corruption, or other unintended database operations, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of your data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can negatively impact compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA because it risks unauthorized access to sensitive personal or health data stored in the database. Exploitation of the SQL injection flaw could lead to data breaches, which are violations of these regulations' requirements for protecting data confidentiality and integrity.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update Open Web Analytics to version 1.8.1 or later where comprehensive input sanitization has been implemented. The patch introduces a sanitization method that strips out SQL keywords and dangerous characters from all user inputs used in SQL queries, preventing SQL injection. Ensure that your installation includes the updated sanitize.php with the stripSql method and that the database layer applies this sanitization to all query components. [1]
