CVE-2023-52155Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary SQL execution via sauvegardes parameter

Published Feb 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

SQL injection in PMB 7.4.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands through a backup endpoint. The /admin/sauvegarde/run.php handler incorporates the attacker-controlled sauvegardes value into an SQL command without neutralizing SQL syntax. Administrative privileges are required, and successful exploitation permits reading, changing, or deleting data available to the application's database account.
