Authenticated database access via blind SQL injection
Published Feb 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024
SQL injection in LIMBAS 5.2.14 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter database data through main_admin.php. The setup_gtab_ftype action uses the tab_group GET value in a WHERE or HAVING condition without neutralizing SQL syntax, enabling boolean- and time-based blind queries. Administrative authentication is required, and resulting access remains bounded by the LIMBAS database account's permissions.
