Arbitrary SQL execution via crafted cart cookie
Published Feb 15, 2023 · Updated Mar 20, 2025
SQL injection in UQCMS 2.1.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the cookie_cart cookie on /index.php/cart/num. The cart handler in home\controls\cart.class.php incorporates cookie_cart into a new database query without neutralizing SQL syntax. No authentication or user interaction is required; a crafted HTTP request can change the query meaning and expose or alter database data.
