CVE-2013-10019Network attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via unvalidated request parameters

Published Feb 20, 2023 · Updated Mar 12, 2025

SQL injection in OCLC OAICat 1.5.61 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter repository data through crafted OAI-PMH parameters. The vulnerable catalog path accepts request parameters without the paramRegex character validation later added in AbstractCatalog, allowing those values to reach JDBC query construction. A reachable OAICat servlet and authenticated access are required, and successful injection can read, change, or disrupt data available to the configured database account.
