## What is CVE-2017-3183?

CVE-2017-3183 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Sage XRT Treasury, published on 24 Jul 2018. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Sage XRT Treasury, version 3, fails to properly restrict database access to authorized users, which may enable any authenticated user to gain full access to privileged database functions. Sage XRT Treasury is a business finance management application. Database user access privileges are determined by the USER_CODE field associated with the querying user. By modifying the USER_CODE value to match that of a privileged user, a low-privileged, authenticated user may gain privileged access to the SQL database. A remote, authenticated user can submit specially crafted SQL queries to gain privileged access to the application database.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)
