Description

SQL injection vulnerability in the actionIndex function in protected/modules_core/notification/controllers/ListController.php in HumHub 0.10.0-rc.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the from parameter to index.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a request that causes an error.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
