CVE-2023-5033Network attack vector

SQL injection via unneutralized category id

Published Sep 18, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in OpenRapid RapidCMS 1.3.1 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter database data through a crafted category id. The /admin/category/cate-edit-run.php handler uses the attacker-controlled id in an SQL statement without neutralizing SQL metacharacters. Access to the administrative category-editing endpoint is required, and successful injection is bounded to the database privileges held by the application.
