How to Fix GHSA-h8cj-hpmg-636v

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

com.appsmith:interfaces fixed: 1.99 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.appsmith</groupId>
    <artifactId>interfaces</artifactId>
    <version>1.99</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.appsmith

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-h8cj-hpmg-636v, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.appsmith

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Interfaces in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.99), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.appsmith command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

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 Interfaces, 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

### Summary A SQL injection vulnerability exists in `FilterDataServiceCE.java` where the `dropTable` method constructs a SQL `DROP TABLE` statement using string concatenation with the table name. If the table name is derived from user input, this allows for arbitrary SQL command execution. ### Details The vulnerability is located in `app/server/appsmith-interfaces/src/main/java/com/appsmith/external/services/ce/FilterDataServiceCE.java`. Line 627 in `dropTable` method: ```java public void dropTable(String tableName) { String dropTableQuery = "DROP TABLE " + tableName + ";"; executeDbQuery(dropTableQuery); } ``` The `tableName` argument is concatenated directly into the SQL string without validation or escaping. ### PoC If `dropTable` is exposed to user input (e.g., via a utility API that accepts a table name to clean up), an attacker could provide a value like: `valid_table; DROP TABLE users; --` The resulting query would be: `DROP TABLE valid_table; DROP TABLE users; --;` This would delete the intended table and then delete the `users` table (or execute any other injected SQL). ### Impact * **Type:** SQL Injection * **Impact:** Data Loss (Drop Table), potentially Data Exfiltration or Modification depending on database permissions. * **Who is impacted:** Appsmith server instances.
