CVE-2024-55586
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2024-55586 is an SQL injection vulnerability in Nette Database that occurs when untrusted filter data is passed directly to the where() method. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on affected database systems. Applications using Nette Database with user-supplied input in where() filters are vulnerable.
💻 Affected Systems

- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise allowing data theft, modification, deletion, or remote code execution via database functions.
Likely Case
Data exfiltration, authentication bypass, or privilege escalation through SQL injection.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if input validation and parameterized queries are properly implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires user input to reach vulnerable where() method calls. The vendor considers this intended behavior, not a vulnerability.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: N/A
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/nette/database/releases
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Review all where() method calls in your code. 2. Ensure user input is properly validated and sanitized before passing to where(). 3. Consider migrating to parameterized queries or prepared statements.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and sanitization for all user-supplied data before passing to where() method.
Parameterized Queries
allReplace direct where() calls with parameterized queries or prepared statements.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts.
- Restrict database user permissions to minimum required privileges.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Review code for where() method calls that accept user input without proper validation or parameterization.Check Version:
composer show nette/database | grep versionVerify Fix Applied:
Test that user input cannot modify SQL queries when passed to where() method.📡 Detection & Monitoring
