AI-suggested
Users should upgrade Manticore Search to version 28.4.4 or later where this authorization issue is fixed. Since the vendor advisory or patch links are not provided, confirm patch availability from the vendor directly. Until patched, restrict read-only user capabilities and avoid running multi-statement SQL queries if possible.
Description
Manticore Search versions 27.0.0 before 28.4.4 fail to validate permissions for all statements in multi-statement SQL requests, allowing read-only users to execute unauthorized queries. Attackers can append additional SELECT statements after the first statement to read credential tables and obtain password hashes that authenticate as administrators without plaintext recovery.
