Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in Kados R10 GreenBee due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 'menu_lev1' parameter across multiple PHP files (e.g., projects.php, users.php, profiles.php). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted GET requests containing malicious SQL payloads. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to extract sensitive information from the database or modify its contents. Additional vulnerable parameters identified in the same version include 'mng_profile_id', 'id_to_modify', 'user2reset', and 'language_tag'. While a newer version (R11-YellowCat) was released in late 2019, users should verify if these specific flaws are addressed or migrate to the latest supported version.
