Description

ZendFramework1 Potential SQL injection in the ORDER implementation of Zend_Db_Select

The implementation of the ORDER BY SQL statement in Zend_Db_Select of Zend Framework 1 contains a potential SQL injection when the query string passed contains parentheses.

For instance, the following code is affected by this issue:

```

$db = Zend_Db::factory( /* options here */ );

$select = $db->select()

->from(array('p' => 'products'))

->order('MD5(1); drop table products');

echo $select;

```

This code produce the string:

```

SELECT "p".* FROM "products" AS "p" ORDER BY MD5(1);drop table products ASC

```

instead of the correct one:

```

SELECT "p".* FROM "products" AS "p" ORDER BY "MD5(1);drop table products" ASC

```

The SQL injection occurs because we create a new Zend_Db_Expr() object, in presence of parentheses, passing directly the value without any filter on the string.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
