Category:Web application abuses
Title:dotCMS < 3.6.2 SQLi Vulnerability
Summary:dotCMS is prone to a blind SQL injection (SQLi); vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
dotCMS is prone to a blind SQL injection (SQLi)
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The findChildrenByFilter() function which is called by the web
accessible path /categoriesServlet performs string interpolation and direct SQL query execution.
SQL quote escaping and a keyword blacklist were implemented in a new class, SQLUtil
(main/java/com/dotmarketing/common/util/SQLUtil.java), as part of the remediation of
CVE-2016-8902. However, these can be overcome in the case of the q and inode parameters to the
/categoriesServlet path. Overcoming these controls permits a number of blind boolean SQL
injection vectors in either parameter. The /categoriesServlet web path can be accessed remotely
and without authentication in a default dotCMS deployment.

Affected Software/OS:
dotCMS version 3.6.1 and prior.

Solution:
Update to version 3.6.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
