Exploitability
| 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in SuiteCRM versions prior to 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 within the AOR_Reports module. When creating or editing a report, the `field_function` parameter from POST data is saved directly into the database without any validation. Later, this unsanitized value is concatenated into a SQL SELECT query, enabling a second-order SQL injection attack.
Any authenticated user with access to Reports can exploit this flaw to extract arbitrary database contents such as password hashes, API tokens, and configuration values. On MySQL servers with FILE privileges, this vulnerability could even lead to remote code execution (RCE) via the SELECT INTO OUTFILE command.
The issue is fixed in SuiteCRM versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database such as password hashes, API tokens, and configuration settings.
If the underlying MySQL database has FILE privileges enabled, an attacker could execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to full system compromise.
Because the attack requires only authenticated user access to Reports, it increases the risk from insider threats or compromised user accounts.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
