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 a SQL injection vulnerability in PbootCMS versions 3.2.0 through 3.2.5. An authenticated user can exploit it by sending crafted parameters to the User/mod interface to modify arbitrary user account fields such as passwords and roles. This allows the attacker to take over user accounts.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect network traffic for suspicious GET requests targeting the User/mod interface with parameters like field=password&value=14e1b600b1fd579f47433b88e8d85291. Check server logs for unusual SQL UPDATE statements or direct database modifications.

Impact Analysis

If you use PbootCMS versions 3.2.0 to 3.2.5, an attacker with valid credentials could exploit this to change your account details, reset passwords, or escalate privileges. This could lead to unauthorized access to your system and data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or modification of sensitive data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements. Organizations may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update PbootCMS to a version beyond 3.2.5 to patch the SQL injection flaw. If updating is not possible, restrict access to the User/mod interface and monitor for suspicious account modifications.
