Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.

1) SQL injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU24846

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7471

CWE-ID:

Exploit availability:

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data if untrusted data is used as a StringAgg delimiter (e.g., in Django applications that offer downloads of data as a series of rows with a user-specified column delimiter). By passing a suitably crafted delimiter to a contrib.postgres.aggregates.StringAgg instance, it was possible to break escaping and inject malicious SQL in Django 1.11 before 1.11.28, 2.2 before 2.2.10, and 3.0 before 3.0.3. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
