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.
CWE-74 The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in zyx0814 FilePress up to version 3.0.1. It affects the Publish Module, specifically the file dzz/publish/search.php. The issue occurs due to improper handling of the orderby and order arguments, which are directly used in SQL queries without sanitization. Attackers can manipulate these parameters to inject malicious SQL code, enabling unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Detection Guidance

Check if your FilePress instance uses vulnerable endpoints like dzz/publish/search.php, dzz/publish/ajax.php, dzz/publish/robot/collect.php, or dzz/banner/robot/publish/collect.php. Test for SQL injection by appending payloads like orderby=dateline,(SELECT SLEEP(2)) to these URLs and observe time delays.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. They could extract sensitive data like user credentials, session information, or database contents. In public mode, no authentication is required, making the attack easier to execute. The exploit is publicly available, increasing the risk of widespread attacks.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations using this software may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage due to potential data breaches.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update FilePress to the latest version if a patch exists. If not, disable the vulnerable endpoints or restrict access to them. Implement strict whitelist validation for orderby and order parameters. Use parameterized queries instead of direct SQL concatenation.
