Description
Saltcorn is an extensible, open source, no-code database application builder. Prior to 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0-beta.5, a SQL injection vulnerability in Saltcorn’s mobile-sync routes allows any authenticated low-privilege user with read access to at least one table to inject arbitrary SQL through sync parameters. This can lead to full database exfiltration, including admin password hashes and configuration secrets, and may also enable database modification or destruction depending on the backend. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0-beta.5.

AI Analysis

Impact

Saltcorn’s mobile‑sync endpoints allow an authenticated user with read access to any table to inject arbitrary SQL through unparameterized sync parameters. This constitutes a classic SQL injection (CWE‑89) that can result in full extraction of the database, including administrative password hashes and configuration secrets, and may also allow modification or destruction of the database depending on the backend. The vulnerability requires only low‑privilege read access, making it broadly exploitable by users who should not have the ability to alter or read beyond their table data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in Saltcorn versions earlier than 1.4.6, 1.5.6, and 1.6.0‑beta.5. Users running these release lines are affected; upgrading to the specified versions disables the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 10, indicating extreme severity, but the EPSS score is less than 1%, showing a very low probability of exploitation at present. The flaw is not catalogued in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires authenticated access to the sync endpoints, so the attack vector is likely internal or routed through an authenticated session. The high severity coupled with low EPSS suggests that while the vulnerability is critical, it is not widely or imminently exploited.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Saltcorn release (1.4.6, 1.5.6, or 1.6.0‑beta.5) to remove the unparameterized sync endpoints.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, restrict or disable the sync endpoints for low‑privilege users, ensuring only administrators can access them.
  • Actively monitor application logs for signs of SQL injection attempts and enforce strict access controls on tables that are exposed to sync mechanisms.
