CVE-2024-25469: SQL Injection Vulnerability in CRMEB crmeb_java v.1.3.4 Allowing Remote Attackers to Obtain Sensitive Information

A severe SQL Injection vulnerability has been discovered in the CRMEB crmeb_java application version 1.3.4 and earlier. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2024-25469, allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information by exploiting the latitude and longitude parameters in the api/front/store/list component. In this post, we will discuss the exploit details, code snippet, and provide links to the original references to assist in understanding and resolving the issue.

Exploit Details

A remote attacker with malicious intent can exploit the latitude and longitude parameters in the vulnerable api/front/store/list component. Through this exploit, an attacker can send specially crafted input to inject SQL commands, which can be executed by the application. Consequently, the attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information from the CRMEB database, potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

Code Snippet

The following code snippet demonstrates the vulnerable section in the api/front/store/list component:

@GetMapping(value = "/list")
public ResponseEntity<Object> list(@RequestParam(name = "latitude", required = false) String latitude,
                                   @RequestParam(name = "longitude", required = false) String longitude) {
    try {
        List<StoreListVO> storeList = storeService.findStores(latitude, longitude);
        return ResponseUtil.ok(storeList);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return ResponseUtil.error(500, "An error occurred while processing your request.");
    }
}

In the code snippet above, the latitude and longitude parameters are fetched from the request as strings. These parameters are then passed to the storeService.findStores() method, which subsequently handles database queries and returns a list of store data. If a malicious payload is provided in the request as the latitude and longitude inputs, the injected SQL command can be executed by the application, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Mitigation Recommendations

To counter this vulnerability, users of the CRMEB crmeb_java application version 1.3.4 and earlier should take the following measures:

1. Update the CRMEB crmeb_java application to the latest version (1.3.5 or later) as soon as it becomes available.
2. Implement proper input validation, such as a whitelist of allowable characters and/or an escape function to ensure input received as latitude and longitude parameters are sanitized before being processed by the application.
3. Regularly monitor CRMEB crmeb_java application logs for unusual activities, like multiple failed login attempts or SQL errors, which may indicate potential exploitation of the vulnerability.

By implementing these recommendations, organizations can protect their systems against CVE-2024-25469 and ensure the security and privacy of their sensitive information.
