Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Pagekit is a modular and lightweight CMS built with Symfony components and Vue.js. The configAction in SettingsController allow user to set the order of comments listing. The allowed options are ASC and DESC. That config then get concatenated directly to the SQL query. Due to the fact that there wasnt any sanitizion before saving that config, it can lead to the SQL Injection vulnerability.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of pagekit/pagekit for GHSA-45hc-r4fj-qj89. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    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.
