Title:dotCMS H2 Database RCE Vulnerability - Active Check
Summary:dotCMS is prone to a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability; if used with the default H2 database.
Description:Summary:
dotCMS is prone to a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability
if used with the default H2 database.

Vulnerability Insight:
dotCMS offers a Tomcat server with a preconfigured dotCms
installation which uses the H2 database. The getCreateSortChildren() function of the
'H2CategorySQL' class suffers of an SQL injection vulnerability into the 'inode' parameter of a
GET request, when the 'reorder' parameter is set to 'TRUE'.

Affected Software/OS:
All dotCMS installations when using the H2 database.

Solution:
dotCMS will not fix this vulnerability since the H2 database
is just for testing and trying out and is not recommended or supported in a productive
environment. Please change the used database to something else than H2 and restrict access to
'categoriesServlet'.

CVSS Score:
