Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Syncope.
An administrator with adequate entitlements can achieve execution of arbitrary SQL via stacked queries, leveraging unsanitized entityKey and opEvent parameters.
This issue affects Apache Syncope: from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, from 4.0.0-M0 Through 4.0.7, from 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.8 / 4.1.3, which fix this issue.
AnalysisAI
Stacked SQL injection in Apache Syncope (3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2) allows an authenticated administrator holding adequate entitlements to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database by supplying malicious content in the unsanitized entityKey and opEvent parameters, which are concatenated into statements that also allow stacked (multi-statement) execution. The vendor assigned a 9.8 score with a PR:N vector, but the explicitly stated gating precondition - a privileged Syncope administrator with the relevant entitlements - means the realistic attack vector is PR:H (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), so unauthenticated or low-privileged users cannot reach the vulnerable code path. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated Apache Syncope administrator holding 'adequate entitlements' - this is the explicit gating precondition stated by the vendor, directly contradicting the CVSS PR:N. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals conflict on the single most important axis: privilege. … 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 | Apply the vendor fix by upgrading to Apache Syncope 4.0.8 or 4.1.3, which resolve the issue across all affected release trains (users on 3.0.x should migrate to a supported 4.x line). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
For Apache Syncope 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2, within 24 hours inventory all deployments, confirm affected versions, restrict network access to administrative interfaces, review privileged administrator accounts and entitlements, and enable audit logging for entityKey and opEvent inputs plus database multi-statement SQL activity. …
