AI-suggested
Upgrade Cockpit CMS to version 2.13.5 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by applying proper field-name sanitization in the MongoLite Aggregation Optimizer. Ensure that the /api/content/aggregate/{model} endpoint is not publicly accessible or reachable by untrusted users if upgrading is not immediately possible. No other specific mitigations are described.
Description
Cockpit CMS versions 2.13.4 and earlier with API access enabled are vulnerable to a SQL Injection flaw in the MongoLite Aggregation Optimizer. Attackers with a valid read-only API key can exploit this vulnerability via the /api/content/aggregate/{model} endpoint to inject arbitrary SQL through unsanitized field names. This allows bypassing content publication filters and unauthorized extraction of data from the SQLite content database. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.13.5 by applying field-name sanitization to the affected method.
