Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SemCms versions up to and including 5.0. The flaw is located in the 'pid' parameter within the SEMCMS_Infocategories.php script, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a database query. An authenticated attacker with low-level privileges can exploit this via network requests to execute arbitrary SQL commands. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read, modify, or delete data within the database, potentially escalating to Database Administrator (DBA) privileges. A proof-of-concept is publicly available.
