CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.9 and 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the element search endpoint because the attribute parameter is concatenated into the query unsanitized and emulated PDO prepares allow stacked statements. Remote attackers can read and write the database, setting the admin flag or overwriting password hashes in the users table to gain administrator access.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain full database access and take over an administrator account, potentially leading to complete compromise of the CMS site. This carries risks of data leakage, content tampering, and further escalation within the environment.

Recommendation

Immediately update Craft CMS to version 4.18.9 or 5.11.2 (or later). Until patched, restrict access to the search endpoint and monitor for suspicious database queries.
