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, a SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the SuiteCRM authentication mechanisms when directory support is enabled. The application fails to properly sanitize the user-supplied username before using it in a local database query. An attacker with valid, low-privilege directory credentials can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL commands, leading to complete privilege escalation (e.g., logging in as the CRM Administrator). Versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 patch the issue.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SuiteCRM's authentication layer when directory support is enabled allows authenticated attackers with low-privilege directory credentials to execute arbitrary SQL commands and escalate privileges to administrator level. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization of usernames in local database queries. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | SuiteCRM versions 7.x prior to 7.15.1 and 8.x prior to 8.9.3 with directory support (LDAP/Active Directory) enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This represents a significant real-world risk despite requiring low-privilege directory credentials (PR:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker obtains valid low-privilege credentials for an organization's LDAP or Active Directory service through phishing or credential stuffing attacks. The attacker then crafts a malicious SQL injection payload within the username field during SuiteCRM authentication, exploiting the lack of input sanitization to modify the authentication query and return administrator-level privileges. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to SuiteCRM version 7.15.1 or later for the 7.x branch, or version 8.9.3 or later for the 8.x branch, as documented in the official release notes at https://docs.suitecrm.com/admin/releases/7.15.x and security advisory at https://github.com/SuiteCRM/SuiteCRM/security/advisories/GHSA-7g39-m4fg-vrq7. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all SuiteCRM instances and confirm which have directory support enabled; disable directory authentication if operationally feasible and document the decision. …
