How to Fix CVE-2023-26750

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Withdrawn dependencies to a patched release.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

yiisoft/yii2 fixed: 2.0.47 
Upgrade yiisoft/yii2 to 2.0.47
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for yiisoft/yii2

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-26750, inspect your project dependencies for Withdrawn:

inspect dependencies for yiisoft/yii2

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Withdrawn in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.47), 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 In Withdrawn, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.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

## Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the issue originates from a product built on Yii2, not the Yii2 Framework itself. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description SQL injection vulnerability found in Yii Framework Yii 2 Framework before v.2.0.47 allows the a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the runAction function.
