Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Syncope. An administrator with adequate entitlements can achieve execution of arbitrary SQL via stacked queries, leveraging unsanitized sort parameters. This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.6, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1.

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 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in Apache Syncope. It allows an administrator with sufficient privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands through unsanitized sort parameters, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Detection Guidance

Detecting SQL injection vulnerabilities like this in Apache Syncope requires checking for unsanitized sort parameters in requests. Monitor logs for unusual SQL queries or errors. Use tools like SQLMap to test for injection points in parameters. Inspect network traffic for stacked queries or malformed requests targeting Syncope endpoints.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with admin access could exploit this to read, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database. This may lead to data breaches, unauthorized account access, or system compromise depending on the database contents.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health data privacy) by enabling unauthorized access to sensitive personal or health information, potentially resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Apache Syncope to version 4.0.7, 4.1.2, or later immediately. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to administrative functions and review all user roles to ensure least privilege. Disable or sanitize sort parameters in requests until patched. Monitor for suspicious activity or unauthorized database access.
