Technical details
SQL injection vulnerability in the survey-archive import and SPSS-response export workflow. An authenticated attacker with global surveys.create permission can craft a .lsa archive file with malicious participant XML that creates an attribute column with a name containing SQL expressions. When exporting responses from a non-anonymous survey, the application passes the persisted column name to Yii's select builder without proper escaping, causing the SQL expression to execute with database privileges.
