JeecgBoot v3.7.1 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-48307, located in the /onlDragDatasetHead/getTotalData endpoint. SQL injection (CWE-89) vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is improperly sanitized and directly incorporated into SQL queries, allowing attackers to manipulate the database query logic. This vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion, and potentially full system compromise if the database server or underlying system is leveraged further. The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 indicates critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. Although no patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, the high severity and common nature of SQL injection vulnerabilities mean that attackers may develop exploits rapidly. JeecgBoot is a Java-based rapid development platform used in enterprise applications, so affected systems may include business-critical applications handling sensitive data. Immediate attention is required to identify and remediate vulnerable instances to prevent data breaches or service disruptions.

The impact of CVE-2024-48307 is severe for organizations using JeecgBoot 3.7.1, as successful exploitation can lead to complete compromise of the backend database and potentially the entire application. Attackers can extract sensitive information such as user credentials, financial data, or intellectual property, leading to data breaches and regulatory penalties. They can also alter or delete data, disrupting business operations and damaging data integrity. The vulnerability could be leveraged to deploy ransomware or pivot to other internal systems, amplifying the damage. Since no authentication is required, any exposed instance of the vulnerable endpoint is at risk from internet-wide scanning and automated attacks. Organizations relying on JeecgBoot for critical business functions face operational downtime, reputational damage, and financial losses if exploited. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the risk of imminent exploitation remains high.

1. Immediately identify all instances of JeecgBoot version 3.7.1 in your environment and restrict external access to the /onlDragDatasetHead/getTotalData endpoint until patched. 2. Apply any official patches or updates from JeecgBoot developers as soon as they become available. 3. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the affected component to prevent SQL injection. 4. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns, especially for the vulnerable endpoint. 5. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing focusing on database query handling in JeecgBoot applications. 6. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 7. Limit database user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage from exploitation. 8. Educate development teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases. 9. Consider network segmentation to isolate critical systems and reduce attack surface. 10. Prepare incident response plans specific to SQL injection attacks to enable rapid containment and recovery.
