Description
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.1.0, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in PropertyTypeEditor.php, part of the administration functionality for managing property type categories (People → Person Properties / Family Properties). The vulnerability was introduced when legacyFilterInput() which both strips HTML and escapes SQL — was replaced with sanitizeText(), which strips HTML only. User-supplied values from the Name and Description fields are concatenated directly into raw INSERT and UPDATE queries with no SQL escaping. This allows any authenticated user with the MenuOptions role (a non-admin staff permission) to perform time-based blind injection and exfiltrate any data from the database, including password hashes of all users. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.0.

Impact

A time‑based blind SQL injection exists in PropertyTypeEditor.php that concatenates user‑supplied Name and Description values directly into INSERT and UPDATE queries. The flaw arose after replacing legacyFilterInput() with sanitizeText(), which removes only HTML but fails to escape SQL. An authenticated user with the MenuOptions role – a non‑admin staff permission – can exploit the flaw to retrieve arbitrary database contents, including all user password hashes.

Affected Systems

ChurchCRM systems running any version prior to 7.1.0 are vulnerable. The issue is limited to the administration interface for managing property type categories (People → Person Properties / Family Properties).

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability receives a CVSS base score of 8.1, indicating a high severity. Its EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting a low likelihood of public exploitation, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Nevertheless, an attacker must be authenticated and hold the MenuOptions permission, but this role is commonly granted to non‑admin staff, making the attack path feasible within many organizations.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ChurchCRM to version 7.1.0 or later where the vulnerability is fixed.
  • Restrict the MenuOptions permission or remove it from staff accounts that do not require property management functions.
  • Review database logs for suspicious queries that may indicate exploitation, and investigate any anomalies.
  • As a temporary measure, if upgrading is not immediately possible, consider disabling or restricting access to PropertyTypeEditor.php to prevent the injection vector.
