DescriptionCVE.org

Shlink contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability that allows any authenticated API key holder to inject arbitrary SQL fragments by supplying an unvalidated direction value in the orderBy query parameter of the tag statistics endpoint. Attackers can craft a malicious direction string containing SQL subqueries that flows unsanitized into a Doctrine QueryBuilder ORDER BY clause, enabling time-based, boolean-oracle, and error-based extraction of sensitive data including long URLs, visitor records, IP addresses, geolocation data, user agents, and hashed API key secrets from any tenant.

AnalysisAI

Blind SQL injection in Shlink's tag statistics REST endpoint allows any API key holder to extract sensitive data from the underlying database across all tenants. The unvalidated direction value of the orderBy query parameter flows unsanitized into a Doctrine QueryBuilder ORDER BY clause, enabling time-based, boolean-oracle, and error-based extraction of long URLs, visitor records, IP addresses, geolocation data, user agents, and hashed API key secrets. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Delivery
Craft malicious SQL fragment as direction value in orderBy parameter
Exploit
Send HTTP GET request to /rest/v{n}/tags/stats endpoint

Persist
Database executes attacker-controlled SQL subquery
Impact
Extract sensitive data via repeated time-based or boolean-oracle requests

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires possession of any valid Shlink API key - no administrative, owner-level, or elevated privileges are needed; any tenant's key suffices. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately reflects the risk profile: network-accessible, low-complexity, authenticated (API key required, PR:L), with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker holding any valid Shlink API key sends a crafted GET request to /rest/v{n}/tags/stats?orderBy=visits:SLEEP(5)-- or an equivalent boolean-oracle payload, causing the database to delay responses in proportion to injected logic. By iterating injected subqueries, the attacker enumerates hashed API key secrets, full destination URLs, visitor IP addresses, and geolocation records from the shared database across all tenants. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version is confirmed from available data - operators should monitor the official Shlink GitHub repository (https://github.com/shlinkio/shlink) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/shlink-blind-sql-injection-via-tags-stats-orderby-parameter) for an updated release and apply it immediately upon availability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
