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 Doctrine/dbal, 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

The identifier quoting in Doctrine DBAL has a potential security problem when user-input is passed into this function, making the security aspect of this functionality obsolete. If you make use of AbstractPlatform::quoteIdentifier() or Doctrine::quoteIdentifier() please upgrade immediately. The ORM itself does not use identifier quoting in combination with user-input, however we still urge everyone to update to the latest version of DBAL.
