Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: itflow-org
Product: itflow

Description

ITFlow provides an IT documentation, ticketing and accounting system for small managed service providers. Prior to version 26.07, an authenticated Technician or higher with access to at least one client invoice can inject SQL through the frequency parameter handled by agent/post/recurring_invoice.php. The handler passes recurring_invoice_frequency through sanitizeInput but interpolates it unquoted into DATE_ADD, allowing SQL syntax to escape the interval expression, assign additional INSERT columns, store subquery results in recurring_invoice_note, and expose those results through agent/recurring_invoice.php. The persisted recurring_invoice_frequency can execute again when Force Recurring uses it in a later UPDATE, allowing another legitimate user to trigger the second-order injection. This can expose password hashes, SMTP credentials, user records, and database metadata, modify database fields, and enable administrative takeover after credential cracking. This issue is fixed in version 26.07.

Technical Analysis

ITFlow, an IT documentation, ticketing, and accounting system, contains an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in versions before 26.07. The vulnerability arises because the recurring_invoice_frequency parameter is sanitized but then interpolated unquoted into a DATE_ADD SQL function in agent/post/recurring_invoice.php. This allows an authenticated Technician or higher user to inject SQL syntax that escapes the intended interval expression, enabling assignment of additional INSERT columns and storage of subquery results in recurring_invoice_note. These results are exposed through agent/recurring_invoice.php. Furthermore, the persisted malicious frequency value can be reused in a later UPDATE operation triggered by Force Recurring, causing a second-order SQL injection exploitable by other legitimate users. Exploitation can expose sensitive data such as password hashes, SMTP credentials, user records, and database metadata, and can modify database fields to enable administrative takeover after credential cracking. The vulnerability is resolved in version 26.07.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Technician or higher privileges to perform SQL injection attacks that can expose sensitive information including password hashes, SMTP credentials, user records, and database metadata. Attackers can also modify database fields, potentially leading to administrative account takeover after cracking credentials. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond authentication and has a low attack complexity.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade to itflow version 26.07 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
