Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SuiteCRM versions prior to 7.12.6 due to improper neutralization of the 'uid' parameter within the 'export' functionality. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted network request to the vulnerable endpoint. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on the underlying host. The vulnerability was patched in version 7.12.6.
