OpenProject is open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1, there is a SQL injection in timestamps functionality. OpenProject baseline comparison allows callers to request historic work-package attributes using the timestamps parameter. This vulnerability is fixed in 17.3.3 and 17.4.1.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in OpenProject's baseline-comparison (timestamps) functionality lets an authenticated, low-privileged user inject SQL through the timestamps parameter used to request historic work-package attributes, affecting all versions prior to 17.3.3 and 17.4.1. Rated CVSS 9.9 with a changed scope, it can expose or alter database contents beyond the user's normal authorization. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated account on the target OpenProject instance (CVSS PR:L) and the ability to invoke the baseline-comparison feature that accepts the timestamps parameter for requesting historic work-package attributes - that timestamps parameter is the exact injection point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are strong but with one caveat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds (or self-registers for) a low-privileged OpenProject account opens a work-package baseline comparison and intercepts the request, replacing the timestamps parameter with a crafted SQL payload. The injected query runs against the OpenProject database, letting the attacker read other users' or projects' data and potentially modify records (I:H), all over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 17.3.3 and 17.4.1 - upgrade to 17.3.3 if you are on the 17.3.x branch, or to 17.4.1 if you are on the 17.4.x branch (or later), following the GHSA-98vw-2r87-fx2r advisory at https://github.com/opf/openproject/security/advisories/GHSA-98vw-2r87-fx2r. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all OpenProject instances and identify which version lines are deployed (17.3.x vs 17.4.x); document user roles with database access or low-privilege account provisioning patterns. …
