Description
zuraCast versions up to and including 0.23.7 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the backup restore functionality. The `azuracast:restore` command executes the `db.sql` file extracted from a backup archive without any content validation or sanitization. This allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the backup restore command of zuraCast. When an attacker supplies a malicious backup archive, the system extracts the contained db.sql file and executes it against the database without any input validation or sanitization. This allows the attacker to inject arbitrary SQL statements, potentially enabling the execution of commands that elevate their privileges or disclose sensitive data.

Affected Systems

All zuraCast installations running version 0.23.7 or earlier are vulnerable, as this version contains the unvalidated restore functionality. No other vendor or product is listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1% and the CVSS score is 9.8, indicating a high severity vulnerability that is not listed in the KEV catalog. The ability to run arbitrary SQL commands through a trusted restoration process indicates a high impact if an attacker can reach the restore endpoint. The absence of defensive checks makes exploitation straightforward for an attacker in reach of the restore operation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest patched version of zuraCast (0.23.8 or newer).
  • Restrict the backup restore feature to trusted administrative users and block external access to the restoration endpoint.
  • Ensure that any uploaded backup archives are validated and that db.sql content is sanitized before execution to prevent SQL injection.
