AI Analysis
Technical Summary
FreePBX, an open source IP PBX system, contains an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in its security-reporting component, specifically in the CDR Reports module page. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands via the order and sort POST parameters. An authenticated user with CDR section access can exploit this flaw without requiring full admin rights. The vulnerability is addressed in FreePBX versions 16.0.50 and 17.0.11.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated user with limited privileges (CDR section access) to perform SQL injection attacks. This could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation within the FreePBX database. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 reflects a high severity due to network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is fixed in FreePBX versions 16.0.50 and 17.0.11. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the issue. Since the vendor advisory does not provide additional remediation details, applying the official updates is the recommended action. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed beyond the fixed versions, so users should verify with the vendor for the latest guidance.
