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 unauthenticated SQL Injection in the saveDashboardLayout function of the dash.php file. It occurs because special elements in a SQL INSERT command are not properly neutralized, allowing a low privileged remote attacker to exploit it.

Through this vulnerability, the attacker can read the entire database and insert entries into a non-critical table.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability includes a total loss of confidentiality, meaning sensitive data in the database can be fully exposed to the attacker.

There is also some loss of integrity, as the attacker can insert entries into a non-critical table, potentially altering data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can result in a total loss of confidentiality and some loss of integrity due to an unauthenticated SQL Injection allowing reading of the whole database and insertion of entries into a non-critical table.

Such a loss of confidentiality and integrity could negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of sensitive data and maintaining data integrity.
