Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SemCms versions up to and including 5.0. The flaw is located in the 'ID' parameter within the SEMCMS_Products.php file. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a database query, enabling Boolean-based blind SQL injection. An attacker with low-privileged (authenticated) access can exploit this to extract sensitive information such as database names and user credentials, potentially escalating to DBA-level permissions. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been confirmed, though users are advised to validate and sanitize all input in the affected component.
