Authenticated database disclosure via unsanitized Tooltips parameters
Published Dec 19, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
SQL injection in SuiteCRM before 7.12.2 and 8.x before 8.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to read database contents. The Project module's Tooltips action inserts resource_id and start_date request values into a WHERE clause without sanitization; a trailing backslash in resource_id escapes a quote so start_date becomes executable SQL. Any logged-in user can invoke the action on a default installation, and the demonstrated UNION-query exploit extracts password hashes or dumps the database.
