CVE-2022-36084 — Vulnerability in cruddl — CVE Details

CRITICAL

cruddl vulnerable to ArangoDB Query Language (AQL) injection through flexSearch

Published September 16, 2022Updated November 8, 2023Source: osv

Summary

### Impact If a vunerable version of cruddl is used to generate a schema that uses `@flexSearchFulltext`, users of that schema may be able to inject arbitrary AQL queries that will be forwarded to and executed by ArangoDB. Schemas that do not use `@flexSearchFulltext` are not affected. The attacker needs to have `READ` permission to at least one root entity type that has `@flexSearchFulltext` enabled. ### Patches The issue has been fixed in version 3.0.2 and in version 2.7.0 of cruddl. ### Workarounds Users can temporarily remove `@flexSearchFulltext` from their schemas before they can update cruddl. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [cruddl](https://github.com/AEB-labs/cruddl) * Email us at [security@aeb.com](mailto:security@aeb.com)
