Summary
Apache Fineract through 1.15.0 contains an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the outStandingAmountPercentageCondition parameter of the /fineract-provider/api/v1/search/advance endpoint. The application does not sufficiently neutralize this input before using it in an SQL command. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this over the network with low complexity, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.
