CVE-2023-40970Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database compromise via unescaped loan-rule value

Published Sep 1, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

SQL injection in SLIMS 9 Bulian 9.6.1 allows remote authenticated users with circulation access to read or alter database data. The loan_rules.php handler copies the gmdID POST value into a data array, and simbio_dbop::insert concatenates string values into an INSERT query without escaping. An account permitted to use the circulation module can submit a crafted loan-rule request and execute database queries in the application's database context.
