Authenticated access (PR:L) and active CPDB feature use required (AC:H); SQL injection in UPDATE context yields high confidentiality but limited integrity impact with no availability effect.
Primary rating from Vendor (Fluid Attacks).

LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Central Participant Database (CPDB) workflow that copies survey participant tokens to the central participant list.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 exposes the Central Participant Database (CPDB) token-copy workflow to authenticated database exfiltration. An attacker with survey-level access can inject malicious SQL through unsanitized participantId, surveyId, tokenFieldname, and participantAttributeId parameters in Participant.php, achieving high-confidence read access to the underlying database with limited write impact. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session in LimeSurvey with at least low-privilege participant management access - PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N) yields a score of 6.0, reflecting network reachability, low authentication bar, and a specific attack requirement (AT:P) - the CPDB feature must be active and accessible to the attacker. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated LimeSurvey user with survey participant management access triggers the CPDB token-copy workflow, injecting malicious SQL through the participant ID or token attribute field name parameter - for example, crafting a participant ID value containing a SQL UNION clause. The injected payload executes within the UPDATE query in `updateTokenAttributeValue()`, allowing UNION-based or error-based exfiltration of the full LimeSurvey database, including user credentials and survey response data. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-provided fix by updating to a LimeSurvey Community Edition version that incorporates commit 7735ce31cea1cad087b0c8556cb65a1c09e29cbd (https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/7735ce31cea1cad087b0c8556cb65a1c09e29cbd); note that a specific patched release version number is not confirmed from available data - verify remediation by inspecting `application/models/Participant.php` for the presence of parameterized queries and the `isValidTokenAttributeFieldname()` method. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
