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 Decidim decidim awesome, 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

## Vulnerability type: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') ## Vendor: Decidim International Community Environment ### Has vendor confirmed: Yes ### Attack type: Remote ### Impact: Code Execution Escalation of Privileges Information Disclosure ### Affected component: A raw sql-statement that uses an interpolated variable exists in the admin_role_actions method of the `papertrail/version-model(app/models/decidim/decidim_awesome/paper_trail_version.rb`). ### Attack vector: An attacker with admin permissions could manipulate database queries in order to read out the database, read files from the filesystem, write files from the filesystem. In the worst case, this could lead to remote code execution on the server. Description of the vulnerability for use in the CVE [ℹ] (https://cveproject.github.io/docs/content/key-details- phrasing.pdf) : An improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in the `papertrail/version- model` of the decidim_awesome-module <= v0.11.1 (> 0.9.0) allows an authenticated admin user to manipulate sql queries to disclose information, read and write files or execute commands. ### Discoverer Credits: Wolfgang Hotwagner ### References: https://pentest.ait.ac.at/security-advisory/decidim-awesome-sql-injection-in-adminaccountability/ https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection
