# SuiteCRM: crafted search input lets low-privileged users run blind SQL injection

SuiteCRM's Cases knowledge-base search passes the POST search parameter into a SQL query without proper escaping, because an XSS-style prefix makes the sanitizer return an unencoded string. A low-privileged user with Cases module access can extract sensitive database contents through blind SQL injection.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Find the SuiteCRM version in use and compare it to the fixed versions listed below.
- Check whether users with only Cases module access can reach the knowledge-base article search on Cases.

## Fix

- SuiteCRM 7.x: `7.15.2`
- SuiteCRM 8.x: `8.10.2`

## From the sources

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the CasesController action_get_kb_articles action interpolates $_POST['search'] into a CASE WHEN ... LIKE expression and the SQL WHERE clause. Although securexss() normally entity-encodes quotes, an input prefixed with an XSS payload makes AntiXSS select a processed string instead of the encoded backup, allowing a literal quote to reach the query. A low-privileged user with Cases module access can perform blind SQL injection and extract sensitive database information. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.
