Description
CubeCart is an ecommerce software solution. Prior to 6.7.0, the admin orders-transactions listing page (admin.php?_g=orders&node=transactions) builds a raw ORDER BY SQL fragment from the attacker-controlled $_GET['sort'] array without column or direction validation. Both the column key and the direction value flow into the query string as bare SQL tokens, and the framework's sqlSafe() (mysqli escape_string) escapes only quote characters — none of which are required for ORDER BY injection. An authenticated administrator with the minimum CC_PERM_READ permission on orders can execute arbitrary SQL against the store database, including time-based blind extraction of admin password hashes, customer PII, and integrated payment-gateway credentials. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.7.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

CubeCart’s order‑transaction listing endpoint builds an ORDER BY clause directly from the $_GET['sort'] array. The column key and sort direction are inserted without validation or parameterization, allowing a malicious administrator with the basic CC_PERM_READ permission to inject arbitrary SQL through the sort[] parameter. This injection can extract any data from the database, including administrator password hashes, customer personally identifiable information, and payment gateway credentials. The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE‑89).

Affected Systems

CubeCart version 6, specifically all releases before 6.7.0, are affected. The issue was fixed in the 6.7.0 update, which properly sanitizes the ORDER BY input.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.9, indicating low severity. No EPSS score is published, so current exploit probability is unknown. Conservation of the vulnerability in the CISA KEV list is not indicated. The attack vector requires prior authenticated access to the CubeCart admin area and the CC_PERM_READ permission on orders, which is typically limited to trusted administrators. However, the privilege level required is sufficient to compromise data integrity and confidentiality. Until the official update is applied, the risk of credential theft or other sensitive data leakage remains.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade CubeCart to version 6.7.0 or later, which removes the unsanitized ORDER BY construction.
  • Restrict the CC_PERM_READ permission to only trusted users or consider removing it entirely if the orders‑transactions listing is not required for those accounts.
  • Implement strict server‑side validation or whitelisting for the "sort" query parameter to prevent injection of legacy unsanitized input.
