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

The filter query parameter in the dependency listing endpoints is JSON-decoded and the value field is concatenated directly into RLIKE clauses without sanitization or parameterized queries.

Affected code in models/Dependency/Dao.php:

  • getFilterRequiresByPath() lines 90, 95, 100
  • getFilterRequiredByPath() lines 148, 153, 158

All 6 locations use direct string concatenation like:

"AND LOWER(CONCAT(o.path, o.key)) RLIKE '".$value."'"

Note that $orderBy and $orderDirection in the same methods (lines 75-81) ARE properly whitelist-validated, but $value has zero sanitization.

Entry points (pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle ElementController.php):

  • GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies (line 654)
  • GET /admin/element/get-required-by-dependencies (line 714)

The controller JSON-decodes the filter query param and passes $filter['value'] straight to the Dao without any escaping.

PoC (time-based blind):

GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR SLEEP(5)#"}]

If vulnerable, the response is delayed by ~15 seconds (SLEEP runs 3 times, once per UNION arm in the inner subquery).

PoC (error-based extraction):

GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,(SELECT version())))#"}]

Returns the MySQL version string in the error response.

Requires admin authentication. An attacker with admin panel access can extract the full database including password hashes of other admin users.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    A fix is available for GHSA-vxg3-v4p6-f3fp; check the affected-versions list above or the advisory for the patched release of pimcore/pimcore, then make sure no transitive dependency still pins the vulnerable range.

  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.
