dotCMS 25.07.02-1 - Authenticated Blind SQL Injection

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, especially for those relying on dotCMS for managing critical web content and customer data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including personal data protected under GDPR, potentially resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Data integrity could also be compromised, affecting the reliability of published content or transactional data. Availability impact is less direct but could occur if attackers manipulate database queries to disrupt service. Organizations in sectors such as media, government, and e-commerce, which often use CMS platforms like dotCMS, are at higher risk. The requirement for authentication reduces the risk from external attackers but raises concerns about insider threats or compromised credentials. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before widespread attacks occur.
