Arbitrary SQL execution via interpolated request parameters
Published Nov 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Blind SQL injection in Arches Project Arches 6.1.1 and earlier, 6.2.0, and 7.0.0 through 7.1.1 allows remote attackers to query its database. The paged_dropdown and dropdown paths interpolate attacker-controlled query or conceptid values into SQL strings that database cursors execute. No authentication or user interaction is required, and time-based responses reveal query results for database disclosure.
