Description

CodeIgniter 3.1.0 addressed a critical security issue within the ODBC database driver. This update includes crucial fixes to mitigate a SQL injection vulnerability, preventing potential exploitation by attackers. It is noteworthy that these fixes render the query builder and escape() functions incompatible with the ODBC driver. However, the update introduces actual query binding as a more secure alternative.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for codeigniter/framework, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update codeigniter/framework to 3.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-27qr-636m-wxg2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
