Description

OpenBiz Cubi Lite 3.0.8 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the login form that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries through the username parameter. Attackers can submit POST requests to /bin/controller.php with malicious SQL code in the username field to extract sensitive database information or bypass authentication.

• 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.
