CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection

9.2 CriticalPublic exploitFix available

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP. Prior to 4.5.12, 4.6.5, 5.1.9, 5.2.14, and 5.3.7, FunctionsBuilder::cast, FunctionsBuilder::extract, FunctionsBuilder::datePart, and FunctionsBuilder::dateAdd in src/Database/FunctionsBuilder.php accept user-controlled dataType, part, or unit values and incorporate them into generated SQL as unescaped structural fragments. An application that passes untrusted input to these parameters can permit SQL injection with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact according to the database connection's privileges. This issue is fixed in versions 4.5.12, 4.6.5, 5.1.9, 5.2.14, and 5.3.7.

CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection

Impact

The FunctionsBuilder::cast($field, $dataType), extract($part, $expr), datePart($part, $expr), dateAdd($expr, $value, $unit) methods are vulnerable to SQL injection if user controlled data is supplied to the ($dataType / $part / $unit) parameters.

Patches

5.3.7, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12 contain fixes

Workarounds
