Description
CamaleonCMS 2.9.1 contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with post creation or editing privileges to submit a crafted slug value containing SQL syntax that the database backend evaluates as part of an inadequately parameterized query. Attackers can supply malicious slug payloads using boolean- or union-style blind SQL injection techniques to extract sensitive data from the underlying SQLite database, including administrative credentials and configuration values stored in application tables.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an authenticated SQL injection that allows attackers with post creation or editing rights to craft a slug value containing SQL statements. These statements are executed by the database due to inadequate parameterization, enabling extraction of sensitive data such as administrative credentials and configuration values. The weakness is classified as CWE-89 and results in significant confidentiality loss and potential for further exploitation.

Affected Systems

CamaleonCMS version 2.9.1 is vulnerable. The vulnerability affects users who possess permissions to create or edit posts within the CMS.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity risk. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers must be authenticated and must have post creation or editing privileges, which are likely granted to users with editorial or admin roles. Once authenticated, they can execute boolean or union-style blind SQL injection techniques to dump database content. The exposure includes administrative credentials and configuration data, which could enable full compromise of the application and its underlying database.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor’s patch or upgrade CamaleonCMS to a version that contains the fix for the authenticated SQL injection.
  • Restrict post creation and editing permissions to only the users who absolutely need them, and audit role assignments regularly.
  • Implement input validation or use prepared statements for the slug field to prevent SQL syntax from being executed.
