Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, when creating or editing a report (AOR_Reports module), the field_function parameter from POST data is saved directly into the aor_fields table without any validation. Later, when the report is executed/viewed, this value is concatenated directly into a SQL SELECT query without sanitization, enabling second-order SQL injection. Any authenticated user with Reports access can extract arbitrary database contents (password hashes, API tokens, config values). On MySQL with FILE privilege, this could lead to RCE via SELECT INTO OUTFILE. Versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 patch the issue.
AnalysisAI
A second-order SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Reports module of SuiteCRM, allowing authenticated users with reporting privileges to execute arbitrary SQL queries when viewing reports. The vulnerability affects SuiteCRM versions before 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, enabling attackers to extract sensitive database contents including password hashes, API tokens, and configuration values, with potential for remote code execution on MySQL installations with FILE privileges. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires SuiteCRM versions prior to 7.15.1 or 8.9.3. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 reflects network-based attack vector with low complexity and low privilege requirements (authenticated users only), resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker with access to the Reports module creates a malicious report with SQL injection payload in the field_function parameter, which gets stored in the database without validation. When any user later views or executes this report, the malicious SQL executes in the database context, allowing the attacker to extract all database contents including user credentials and sensitive configuration data. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade SuiteCRM to version 7.15.1 or later for 7.x installations, or to version 8.9.3 or later for 8.x installations, as detailed in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/SuiteCRM/SuiteCRM/security/advisories/GHSA-vh42-gmqm-q55m. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all SuiteCRM instances and their versions; restrict Reports module access to only critical administrators pending remediation; enable database access logging to detect exploitation attempts. …
