CVE-2021-44350Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via unfiltered order keys

Published Dec 15, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

SQL injection in ThinkPHP 5.0.0 through 5.1.22 allows remote attackers to read or alter database data through crafted order input. Builder::parseOrder passes attacker-controlled order keys to parseKey, which concatenates them into a SQL statement without filtering or neutralization. Exploitation requires an application route that places request-controlled keys into an order clause; the database account bounds the readable and writable data.
