Description

Cloud Foundry CF Networking Release, versions 2.11.0 prior to 2.16.0, contain an internal api endpoint vulnerable to SQL injection between Diego cells and the policy server. A remote authenticated malicious user with mTLS certs can issue arbitrary SQL queries and gain access to the policy server.

• 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.
