Description

Symptom

A malicious user can exploit DIMA condition data extraction and use specially crafted inputs to modify database commands, resulting in the retrieval of additional information persisted by the system.

Solution

The input table name should be a condition table name in the CRM system.

The solution adds a check in these function modules to ensure that this table is an active condition table in the system.

Reason and prerequisites

The problem is caused by an SQL injection vulnerability. The code composes an SQL statement including strings that can be altered by a malicious user. The manipulated SQL statement can then be used to retrieve data from the database. The affected code cannot be called externally.
