CVE-2023-52290
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in Apache StreamPark allows authenticated attackers to manipulate database queries through unvalidated sort parameters. It affects users of StreamPark console who can access application list pages. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access from the database.
💻 Affected Systems
- Apache StreamPark
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Authenticated attacker extracts sensitive database contents including user credentials, configuration data, and application information, potentially leading to further system compromise.
Likely Case
Authenticated user with malicious intent leaks application metadata, configuration details, or limited database information they wouldn't normally have access to.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and parameterized queries, no SQL injection is possible and normal application functionality is preserved.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires valid authentication credentials. The vulnerability is in a common SQL injection pattern that is relatively easy to exploit once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.1.4
Vendor Advisory: https://lists.apache.org/thread/t3mcm8pb65d9gj3wrgtj9sx9s2pfvvl3
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download StreamPark version 2.1.4 or later from official Apache repositories. 2. Stop the current StreamPark service. 3. Replace with patched version. 4. Restart the StreamPark service.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side validation to only allow alphanumeric characters in sort field parameters
Implement input validation in the affected controller methods to restrict sort parameters to allowed field names
WAF Rule
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in sort parameters
Configure WAF to inspect and block SQL keywords in GET/POST parameters for /api/* endpoints
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict database access from application servers
- Enable detailed SQL query logging and monitor for unusual sort parameter patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if StreamPark version is below 2.1.4 and test if sort parameters accept SQL injection payloads in authenticated sessionsCheck Version:
Check StreamPark console interface or application logs for version information, or examine deployment filesVerify Fix Applied:
After upgrading to 2.1.4, verify that SQL injection attempts in sort parameters are blocked and return error responses📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries with injected sort parameters
- Database error logs showing malformed ORDER BY clauses
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by sort parameter manipulation
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in sort parameter values
- Unusual database query patterns from application servers
