Description
WsgiDAV is a generic and extendable WebDAV server based on WSGI. Prior to 4.3.5, the sample MySQLBrowserProvider in wsgidav/samples/mysql_dav_provider.py concatenates the record key parsed from a request URL directly into SQL WHERE clauses. The affected _exists_record_by_primary_key, _get_field_by_primary_key, and _get_record_by_primary_key methods are part of a shipped example provider that is not enabled by default. An attacker who can access a share explicitly configured with this non-default provider can inject SQL through a normal GET request; anonymously exposed read shares permit a status-code oracle and extraction of arbitrary data reachable by the configured MySQL account. This issue is fixed in version 4.3.5.

Impact

WsgiDAV contains a blind SQL injection flaw in its sample MySQL provider. The flaw arises because the provider concatenates a request URL component directly into SQL WHERE clauses without sanitization. This can allow an attacker to inject SQL via a GET request and, if the share is publicly readable, to infer data through status codes and ultimately read arbitrary data that the configured MySQL account can access. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑89.

Affected Systems

WsgiDAV, an extendable WebDAV server maintained by mar10, is affected. All releases before 4.3.5 are vulnerable, including 4.3.4 and earlier. The issue resides in the shipped example MySQLBrowserProvider which is not enabled by default; however, any deployment that explicitly configures this provider for a share is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 8.8, indicating a high severity. EPSS is not yet available, so the precise exploitation probability is unknown, but the lack of a KEV listing means no public exploits have been reported so far. The attack vector is a normal HTTP GET request to a WebDAV share that uses the vulnerable provider, which an unauthenticated client can reach if the share is publicly exposed. An attacker could use status‑code or timing comparisons to walk through the database and extract data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to WsgiDAV v4.3.5 or later, which removes the vulnerable code path.
  • If an upgrade is not possible, disable the shipped MySQLBrowserProvider or remove any configuration that loads it, ensuring no shares use the vulnerable provider.
  • Restrict unauthenticated access to WebDAV shares, requiring authentication to prevent status-code oracle attacks.
