Remote unauthenticated SQL injection via a user value reaching escape(); Oracle-dialect requirement is a deployment precondition, not attacker complexity, so AC:L with full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
Sequelize is a Node.js ORM tool. Prior to 6.37.4, SQL injection is possible with strings only if dialect is set to oracle. The escape function defined in sql-string.js does not escape quotes if the value starts with TO_TIMESTAMP or TO_DATE. In the Oracle dialect, when val is a string and starts with TO_TIMESTAMP or TO_DATE, escape returns val directly instead of replacing single quotes. An attacker can inject arbitrary SQL expressions through an application value that reaches this escape path. This issue is fixed in version 6.37.4.

AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the Sequelize Node.js ORM (versions prior to 6.37.4) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through application values that reach the string-escaping routine, but only when the ORM is configured with the Oracle dialect. The escape() function in sql-string.js returns any string beginning with TO_TIMESTAMP or TO_DATE verbatim without doubling single quotes, letting a crafted value break out of the intended literal. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that Sequelize be configured with the Oracle dialect (dialect: 'oracle') - the flaw does not exist for any other dialect. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) treats this as network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity full-impact SQL injection, which is defensible for the classic SQLi pattern. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 6.37.4 - upgrade the sequelize npm package to 6.37.4 or later, which restores proper single-quote escaping in the Oracle dialect path (fix commit 5deadd2410ae9136a21fb652db206d27bb715f26). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
