Description
A SQL injection vulnerability in the tags manager in GazellePW (GazellePosterWall) commit 86c4bedf727691b5a97af42a4864869d18446449 allows remote authenticated users with users_mod privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the tagid or type parameter in a crafted POST request to tools.php?action=manage_tags.

AI Analysis

Impact

A remote authenticated user who holds users_mod privileges can craft a POST request to tools.php?action=manage_tags containing a malicious tagid or type parameter. The system fails to validate or escape these inputs, allowing the attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the database engine. This flaw can write, delete, or read any data in the database, potentially exposing sensitive information or allowing an attacker to alter the application state.

Affected Systems

GazellePosterWall (GazellePW) instances that are running the code at revision 86c4bedf727691b5a97af42a4864869d18446449, or any downstream releases that have not applied a fix for this commit. No specific vendor product names or version ranges are publicly identified beyond the repository reference.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable remotely by users who already possess users_mod privileges, making it a privilege-based threat vector that does not require public disclosure. The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS rate of <1% shows a low probability of exploitation. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. As with any arbitrary‑SQL injection, attackers could read, modify or delete database data, potentially compromising sensitive information or application state. Given the lack of mitigation in the current code, exploitation is straightforward if an attacker can acquire users_mod rights.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict or remove users_mod privileges from accounts that do not require them, thereby limiting the pool of users who can reach the vulnerable endpoint.
  • Patch GazellePosterWall to a version that implements input sanitization or prepared statements for tagid and type parameters. If a patched release is not available, replace the vulnerable code segment with a secure implementation that validates input against a whitelist of acceptable values.
  • Perform a comprehensive audit of the database for unauthorized modifications and apply a recent backup if required. Monitor login and data change logs for anomalous activity related to the tags manager functionality.
