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 Georgringer/news, 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 extension fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in a database query. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL through a URL parameter on pages using the "Date Menu of news articles" plugin. Exploitation requires the "Date Menu of news articles" plugin to be in use and the TypoScript/Plugin setting disableOverrideDemand not to be enabled.
