CVE-2024-58341: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Opencart OpenCart Core
OpenCart Core 4.0.2.3 contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL code through the 'search' parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to the product search endpoint with malicious 'search' values to extract sensitive database information using boolean-based blind or time-based blind SQL injection techniques.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-58341 is a SQL injection vulnerability in OpenCart Core 4.0.2.3. It arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) within the product search endpoint. Attackers can send crafted GET requests with malicious 'search' parameter values to manipulate database queries. Exploitation techniques include boolean-based blind and time-based blind SQL injection, allowing unauthorized data extraction. The vulnerability is unauthenticated and remotely exploitable, with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 (high severity). No patch or official vendor advisory is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database via the 'search' parameter. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in the database. The vulnerability affects OpenCart Core 4.0.2.3 and poses a high risk due to its remote, unauthenticated nature and the potential for data leakage. There are no known active exploits reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'search' parameter. Avoid exposing the vulnerable endpoint publicly if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
