Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Kados R10 GreenBee due to improper neutralization of special elements in the 'language_tag' parameter (and others including 'menu_lev1', 'mng_profile_id', 'id_to_modify', and 'user2reset'). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted GET requests to various PHP endpoints such as languages.php or users.php. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized data extraction via error-based or blind SQL injection techniques, and potentially data modification. While the advisory specifically highlights 'language_tag', public exploit code demonstrates the vulnerability across multiple parameters in the R10 GreenBee version.
