How to Fix GHSA-27qr-636m-wxg2

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Codeigniter/framework dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

codeigniter/framework fixed: 3.1.0 
Upgrade codeigniter/framework to 3.1.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for codeigniter/framework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-27qr-636m-wxg2, inspect your project dependencies for Codeigniter/framework:

inspect dependencies for codeigniter/framework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Codeigniter/framework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.1.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Codeigniter/framework, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

CodeIgniter 3.1.0 addressed a critical security issue within the ODBC database driver. This update includes crucial fixes to mitigate a SQL injection vulnerability, preventing potential exploitation by attackers. It is noteworthy that these fixes render the query builder and escape() functions incompatible with the ODBC driver. However, the update introduces actual query binding as a more secure alternative.
