9.1 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a SQL injection vulnerability in the Rosariosis educational management software prior to version 9.0. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries through user inputs, potentially allowing unauthorized database access. All users running Rosariosis versions before 9.0 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Rosariosis
Versions: All versions prior to 9.0
Operating Systems: Any OS running Rosariosis
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations of Rosariosis before version 9.0 are vulnerable regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution through database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, data exfiltration, and potential privilege escalation within the application.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing successful exploitation.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

SQL injection vulnerabilities are commonly exploited, and proof-of-concept details are available in the referenced bounty report.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 9.0

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/francoisjacquet/rosariosis/commit/15d5e8700d538935b5c411b2a1e25bcf7e16c47c

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Backup your current installation and database. 2. Download Rosariosis version 9.0 or later from the official repository. 3. Replace the existing installation files with the new version. 4. Restart your web server. 5. Verify the application functions correctly.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious requests.

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement custom input validation to sanitize user inputs before processing.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries in all database interactions.
  • Restrict database user permissions to minimum required privileges and implement network segmentation.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check your Rosariosis version by examining the application files or configuration. If version is below 9.0, you are vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check the version.php file or application configuration for version information.

Verify Fix Applied:

After upgrading to version 9.0 or later, verify the fix by checking that the vulnerable code patterns have been replaced with parameterized queries.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual database queries in application logs
  • SQL syntax errors in error logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts with SQL-like patterns

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_server_logs" AND ("SELECT" OR "UNION" OR "INSERT" OR "UPDATE" OR "DELETE") AND status=200
