CVE-2021-3860Network attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via incomplete query validation

Published Dec 20, 2021 · Updated Nov 18, 2024

Blind SQL injection in JFrog Artifactory 6.x before 6.23.30 and 7.x before 7.25.4 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter repository data. An undisclosed SQL query incompletely validates attacker-controlled input, allowing blind inference of database responses without direct output. Exposure is limited to Enterprise+ deployments, and successful injection can also interrupt the service.
