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. |

Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is an unauthenticated SQL Injection in the getProjectTags function. It occurs because special elements in a SQL SELECT command are not properly neutralized, allowing a low privileged remote attacker to exploit it.
As a result, the attacker can manipulate the SQL query to gain unauthorized access to data.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can lead to a total loss of confidentiality, meaning sensitive data can be exposed to unauthorized parties.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
This vulnerability can result in a total loss of confidentiality due to an unauthenticated SQL Injection attack. Such a loss of confidentiality can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of sensitive data and personal information.
Specifically, unauthorized access to confidential data through this vulnerability could lead to violations of data protection requirements, potentially resulting in legal and regulatory consequences.
