Authenticated SQL Injection in Phishing Club GetOrphaned Endpoint

Publication date: 2026-02-26

Last updated on: 2026-03-03

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Phishing Club is a phishing simulation and man-in-the-middle framework. Prior to version 1.30.2, an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the GetOrphaned recipient listing endpoint in versions prior to v1.30.2. The endpoint constructs a raw SQL query and concatenates the user-controlled sortBy value directly into the ORDER BY clause without allowlist validation. Because unknown values are silently passed through `RemapOrderBy()`, an authenticated attacker can inject SQL expressions into the `ORDER BY` clause. This issue was patched in v1.30.2 by validating the order-by column against an allowlist and clearing unknown mappings.

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 exists in Phishing Club, a phishing simulation and man-in-the-middle framework, in versions prior to 1.30.2. It is an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability found in the GetOrphaned recipient listing endpoint. The issue arises because the endpoint constructs a raw SQL query and directly concatenates a user-controlled parameter called sortBy into the ORDER BY clause without validating it against an allowlist. Unknown values are silently passed through a function called RemapOrderBy(), allowing an authenticated attacker to inject malicious SQL expressions into the ORDER BY clause. This vulnerability was fixed in version 1.30.2 by implementing validation of the order-by column against an allowlist and clearing unknown mappings.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to perform SQL injection attacks via the ORDER BY clause in the GetOrphaned recipient listing endpoint. The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity impact with high confidentiality impact but no impact on integrity or availability. This means an attacker could potentially access sensitive data from the database without altering or disrupting the system.
