Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-01 18:31 – Updated: 2025-08-01 18:31

Details

Saurus CMS Community Edition since commit d886e5b0 (2010-04-23) is vulnerable to a SQL Injection vulnerability in the prepareSearchQuery() method in FulltextSearch.class.php. The application directly concatenates user-supplied input ($search_word) into SQL queries without sanitization, allowing attackers to manipulate the SQL logic and potentially extract sensitive information or escalate their privileges.

Severity

9.1 (Critical)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
