An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-43279 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- limesurvey (Bitnami): affected from 5.4.4; fixed in 5.4.5\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-43279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43279/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-43279","record":{"aliases":["BIT-limesurvey-2022-43279","GHSA-f594-4w5v-rpf5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the theme options update view, potentially reading or modifying database contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"limesurvey","vendor":"limesurvey"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"},{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"LimeSurvey before v5.0.4 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability via the component /application/views/themeOptions/update.php.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"limesurvey:limesurvey","products":["limesurvey:limesurvey"],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2022"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43280"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["5.4.5"],"introduced":["5.4.4"],"last_affected":[],"package":"limesurvey","purl":"pkg:bitnami/limesurvey","source":"BIT-limesurvey-2022-43279"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43278"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-11-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-56422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-25019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"TCPDF vulnerable to attackers triggering deserialization of arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2018-17057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL commands via the theme options update view, potentially reading or modifying database contents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43279/"}
