CVE-2022-45535Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated database disclosure via category edit injection

Published Nov 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025

SQL injection in AeroCMS 0.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to read database information through admin/categories.php's edit parameter. The endpoint evaluates SQL syntax supplied in the edit value instead of treating the value solely as category data. Administrative privileges are required, and the reported consequence is database disclosure rather than modification or service interruption.
