SQL Injection in Apache Syncope

Publication date: 2026-09-14

Last updated on: 2026-09-14

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 clauses for Task search. This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.

Exploitability

CWE

KEV
KEV Icon
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 proper permissions to execute arbitrary SQL commands by exploiting unsanitized sort clauses in Task search functionality. This is possible due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands.

Detection Guidance

Detecting SQL injection vulnerabilities like this one typically requires analyzing application logs for suspicious queries, especially those involving unsanitized sort clauses in Task search operations. Check for repeated or unusual SQL patterns in logs that may indicate stacked queries.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with administrator access could manipulate SQL queries to access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure, data corruption, or complete system compromise depending on the database permissions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to personal or health information. Organizations using affected versions may face compliance failures, legal penalties, and reputational damage if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Apache Syncope to version 4.0.8, 4.1.3, or later to address the SQL injection flaw. If immediate upgrading is not possible, restrict administrative entitlements to prevent exploitation via unsanitized sort clauses.
