AI Analysis

Impact

ChurchCRM contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the /MemberRoleChange.php endpoint that allows authenticated users with the Manage Groups & Roles role to inject arbitrary SQL statements through the NewRole parameter. This weakness, classified as CWE-89, enables attackers to read or modify database contents, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of church records. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 7.1.0, specifically 7.0.5, and any earlier releases.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include the ChurchCRM open‑source management platform, specifically the CRM product. Vulnerable releases are any versions older than 7.1.0, with 7.0.5 stated as a known affected version. Administrators should verify which version their installation is running and update accordingly.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.8 the vulnerability is considered high severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low expected exploitation probability in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting no known active exploits. Exploitation requires a valid user account with the Manage Groups & Roles permission and involves sending a crafted request containing malicious SQL via the NewRole field to the MemberRoleChange.php endpoint.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest ChurchCRM release (7.1.0 or newer) to eliminate the vulnerable code.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict the MemberRoleChange.php endpoint to users who must legitimately have the Manage Groups & Roles role and revoke the permission from other accounts.
  • Monitor application logs for unexpected or repeated SQL statements targeting the NewRole parameter to detect potential exploitation attempts.
  • Review custom extensions or plugins that interact with the database to ensure they use parameterized queries and validate input before execution.
