CRITICAL 9.4

DescriptionCVE.org

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. From 4.3.0 through 4.7.3, Query Builder deleteBatch() substitutes bound values from where() conditions into generated SQL while ignoring their escape flags, allowing user-controlled condition values to be interpreted as SQL. This affects only the deleteBatch() code path. Regular delete() operations escape where() binds correctly. This issue is fixed in version 4.7.4.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in CodeIgniter4's Query Builder deleteBatch() method (versions 4.3.0 through 4.7.3) allows user-controlled where() condition values to be interpreted as executable SQL because bound values are substituted into the generated DELETE statement while their escape flags are ignored. Only the deleteBatch() batch-delete path is affected; ordinary delete() operations escape their binds correctly. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the target application to invoke Query Builder's deleteBatch() (the batch-delete path) with an attacker-influenced value passed through a where(), orWhere(), or whereIn() condition on the affected CodeIgniter4 versions 4.3.0-4.7.3. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H, base 9.4) rates this network-exploitable with low complexity and no privileges, which is plausible for a reflected SQLi reachable through an exposed endpoint. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An application exposes a feature that batch-deletes records using Query Builder deleteBatch() with a where() filter derived from a request parameter (for example, deleting a user's job records by name). An unauthenticated or low-privileged attacker submits a value such as anything' OR '1'='1, which is substituted unescaped into the DELETE statement, altering the WHERE clause to match and destroy unintended rows or otherwise inject SQL. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 4.7.4 - upgrade the codeigniter4/codeigniter4 dependency to 4.7.4 or later (composer update codeigniter4/framework) as the primary and definitive fix, per GHSA-c9w5-rwh3-7pm9 and the release at https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/releases/tag/v4.7.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all applications and servers running CodeIgniter 4 versions 4.3.0 through 4.7.3 and assess which expose deleteBatch() functionality to user input. …
