About Remote Code Execution & Arbitrary File Reading – Apache HTTP Server (CVE-2024-38475) vulnerability. Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite module leads to remote code execution or arbitrary file reading. Successful exploitation does not require authentication. 🔻 Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60, which includes a fix for this vulnerability, was released on July 1, 2024. Orange […]

Improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a PostgreSQL database and calls pg_insert_id() with user-supplied data. Note that the indicated Severity corresponds to a worst-case usage scenario. ### Impact PostgreSQL drivers (postgres64, postgres7, postgres8, postgres9). ### Patches Vulnerability is fixed in ADOdb 5.22.9 (11107d6d6e5160b62e05dff8a3a2678cf0e3a426). ### Workarounds Only pass controlled data to pg_insert_id() method's $fieldname parameter, or escape it with pg_escape_identifier() first. ### Credits Thanks to Marco Nappi (@mrcnpp) for reporting this vulnerability.

PostHog ClickHouse Table Functions SQL Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of PostHog. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the SQL parser. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the database account. Was ZDI-CAN-25350.

### Impact It is possible for a remote unauthenticated user to escape from the HQL execution context and perform a blind SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the database backend, including when "Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page rights" and "Prevent unregistered users from editing pages, regardless of the page rights" options are enabled. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. The vulnerability may be tested in a default installation of XWIki Standard Flavor, including using the official Docker containers. An example query, which leads to SQL injection with MySQL/MariaDB backend is shown below: ``` time curl "http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/wikis/xwiki/query?q=where%20doc.name=length('a')*org.apache.logging.log4j.util.Chars.SPACE%20or%201%3C%3E%271%5C%27%27%20union%20select%20...

### Impact It is possible for a user with SCRIPT right to escape from the HQL execution context and perform a blind SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the database backend. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. The vulnerability may be tested in a default installation of XWIki Standard Flavor, including using the official Docker containers. For example, with a MySQL or MariaDB database, you can use the following script (which a user having SCRIPT right but not PROGRAMMING right) to get the content of the xwikistrings table (which contain all the short string fields stored in objects, including passwords): ``` {{velocity}} $services.query.hql("where 1<>'1\'' union select concat(XWS_NAME, XWS_VALUE) from xwikistrings #'").execute() {{/velocity}} ``` ### Patches This has been patched in 16.10.1, 16.4.6 and...
