Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
MCMS v5.2.5 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the search.do functionality within the file /web/MCmsAction.java (NVD, MITRE). The vulnerability was identified and disclosed in January 2022.
Technical details
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation where parameter names are directly concatenated with strings without proper filtering in the MCmsAction.java file. The vulnerability can be exploited via the search.do endpoint. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.8 CRITICAL (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) (NVD).
Impact
If exploited, this SQL injection vulnerability could allow an attacker to access, modify, or delete data in the backend database. Given the CVSS score of 9.8, the vulnerability has potential for high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should upgrade to a version newer than MCMS v5.2.5. If upgrading is not immediately possible, implementing proper input validation and parameterized queries for the search functionality can help mitigate the risk (NVD).
