Description

Invision Community IPS Community Suite before 4.5.4.2 allows SQL Injection via the Downloads REST API (the sortDir parameter in a sortBy=popular action to the GETindex() method in applications/downloads/api/files.php).

• 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.
