Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionGitHub Advisory
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.1.0, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in ChurchCRM's SettingsIndividual.php where user-controlled array keys from the type POST parameter are used directly in SQL queries without sanitization. This allows any authenticated user to extract sensitive data from the database. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.0.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in ChurchCRM's SettingsIndividual.php allows authenticated users to extract sensitive database contents including member personal information, financial records, and credentials. Affecting all versions prior to 7.1.0, attackers with low-privilege accounts can escalate to full database compromise via unsanitized POST parameter array keys used directly in SQL queries. EPSS data not available, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and network accessibility (AV:N) combined with publicly disclosed technical details create elevated risk for exposed installations. Vendor-released patch available in version 7.1.0.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability resides in ChurchCRM's SettingsIndividual.php endpoint, a PHP-based component handling user preference settings. The flaw stems from CWE-89 (SQL Injection) where the application accepts POST parameters containing array structures and directly interpolates the array keys into SQL query construction without parameterization or input validation. In PHP applications, array keys from user input are commonly overlooked as injection vectors since developers focus on sanitizing values rather than structural elements. ChurchCRM is a specialized church management system storing highly sensitive personally identifiable information including member contact details, donation records, pastoral notes, and family relationships. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:churchcrm:crm confirms the affected product spans all pre-7.1.0 versions of the ChurchCRM application. SQL injection at the array key level is particularly dangerous because it bypasses many naive sanitization attempts that only filter values, allowing attackers to inject UNION queries, stacked commands, or time-based blind extraction techniques.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade to ChurchCRM version 7.1.0 which contains parameterized query implementations that eliminate the SQL injection vector in SettingsIndividual.php. The vendor-released patch is available through the official ChurchCRM GitHub repository at https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM with installation instructions in the security advisory at https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/security/advisories/GHSA-h7hg-f7cw-9xwc. Organizations unable to immediately upgrade should implement compensating controls including restricting network access to the ChurchCRM application via IP allowlisting, enforcing strong authentication policies, auditing existing user accounts for unauthorized access, and monitoring database query logs for anomalous SELECT statements or UNION operations. As a temporary mitigation, consider disabling the SettingsIndividual.php endpoint at the web server level if user preference modification is not operationally critical, though this does not address potential similar vulnerabilities in other components. Post-remediation, conduct a security review of all user accounts and audit database access logs for the period the system was vulnerable to identify potential compromise, particularly reviewing extraction of member contact tables and financial records.
