ScadaLTS version 2.8.1-release-candidate build 0 contains an authenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in the /api/events/search endpoint. Authenticated users with the ROLE_USER role or higher can exploit this flaw by sending a crafted JSON body with a sortBy array that is unsafely concatenated into the SQL ORDER BY clause. This vulnerability allows extraction of arbitrary database data, including user password hashes, without requiring user interaction.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The /api/events/search endpoint in ScadaLTS 2.8.1-release-candidate build 0 accepts a JSON body containing a sortBy array whose values are directly concatenated into the SQL ORDER BY clause without sanitization or parameterization. This enables authenticated users with ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN, or ROLE_PUBLIC roles to perform time-based and boolean-based blind SQL injection attacks. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive data such as password hashes from the database.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access and at least ROLE_USER privileges can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive data from the database, including password hashes of all users. This compromises confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability according to the CVSS vector. The vulnerability poses a medium severity risk due to the need for authentication and the potential exposure of sensitive credential data.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the /api/events/search endpoint to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid granting unnecessary ROLE_USER privileges to untrusted users.
