How to Fix CVE-2020-11010

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

tortoise-orm fixed: 0.15.23 
pip install tortoise-orm>=0.15.23
tortoise-orm fixed: 0.16.6 
pip install tortoise-orm>=0.16.6
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

pip show tortoise-orm

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2020-11010, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show tortoise-orm

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Tortoise orm in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.15.23), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show tortoise-orm command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

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 Tortoise orm, 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

### Impact Various forms of SQL injection has been found, for MySQL and when filtering or doing mass-updates on char/text fields. SQLite & PostgreSQL was only affected when filtering with ``contains``, ``starts_with`` or ``ends_with`` filters (and their case-insensitive counterparts) ### Patches Please upgrade to 0.15.23+ or 0.16.6+ ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Github](https://github.com/tortoise/tortoise-orm/issues) * Chat to us on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/tortoise/community)
