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 is an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Forma LMS versions 4.1.43 and earlier. It affects the Multi-User-Selector AJAX endpoint, specifically the function UserselectorAdmController::getDataTask. The flaw allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code through the 'Name' argument, which is used in SQL queries without proper validation. The vulnerability arises because the application processes DataTables server-side parameters unsafely, concatenating column names directly into SQL queries as unquoted identifiers.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor network traffic for requests to the /appCore/ajax.adm_server.php?r=adm/userselector/getData endpoint with suspicious SQL payloads in the Name parameter. Check for unusual delays in responses or errors indicating SQL syntax issues. Review logs for authenticated users making requests with column filters but empty global searches.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. This may allow them to extract sensitive data such as user passwords, personal information, or other confidential records. The attack can be performed remotely by any authenticated user, including low-privilege accounts like students. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or system compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to personal and sensitive data. GDPR requires protection of personal data, and a breach could result in fines. HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information; a breach here could lead to penalties. The risk of data exfiltration directly conflicts with these regulations' requirements for data security and privacy.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update Forma LMS to the latest version beyond 4.1.43. If an update is unavailable, restrict access to the /adm/userselector/getData endpoint to authorized administrators only. Implement strict input validation for the Name parameter, ensuring only whitelisted column names are accepted. Disable the global search feature if not required.
