Summary

SPIP before 4.4.29 contains an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the /ecrire/?exec=articles endpoint. An authenticated attacker with back-office access can submit a where parameter in the POST body that differs from the one in the GET query string, which bypasses sanitization and lets the attacker run arbitrary SQL to extract database contents, including bcrypt password hashes of users.

Description from the CNA

SPIP before 4.4.29 contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with back-office access to inject arbitrary SQL by submitting a differing where parameter value in the POST body versus the GET query string on the /ecrire/?exec=articles endpoint, bypassing spip_sanitize_from_request() sanitization. Attackers can exploit this request parameter mismatch to extract database contents, including protected articles and bcrypt password hashes of users.
