Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: OpenProject SQL Injection (CWE-89). Custom field names aren't sanitized in SQL queries.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **CWE-89** (SQL Injection). The flaw lies in **improper cleaning** of custom field names before inserting them into SQL queries.β¦
π§ͺ **Public Exploit**: **No** public PoC/Exploit listed in the data (POCs: []). However, the severity (CVSS 9.8) and clear attack path (SQL -> Git -> RCE) make it highly attractive for future exploitation.β¦
π **Self-Check**: <br>1. Verify OpenProject version against the **affected list** above. <br>2. Scan for **SQL injection** patterns in custom field inputs. <br>3.β¦
β **Official Fix**: **Yes**. The advisory (GHSA-jqhf-rf9x-9rhx) implies fixed versions exist: <br>β’ 16.6.10+ <br>β’ 17.0.7+ <br>β’ 17.1.4+ <br>β’ 17.2.2+ π **Action**: Upgrade immediately to the latest patched version.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **Workaround (If No Patch)**: <br>1. **Restrict Access**: Limit authentication to trusted IPs/users only. <br>2. **Input Sanitization**: Manually validate/custom field name inputs if possible (hard for web apps).β¦
π₯ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL (P1)**. <br>β’ CVSS Score: **9.8** (Critical). <br>β’ Impact: **RCE** via SQLi. <br>β’ Auth Required: Yes, but common in enterprise apps. π **Recommendation**: Patch **immediately**. Do not wait.
