Technical details
This vulnerability is a generic SQL injection located in the 'query[select]' parameter of the Groundhogg plugin. The root cause is insufficient escaping of user-supplied parameters and a lack of SQL query preparation. An attacker can bypass the sanitized Contact_Query code path by providing an invalid filter type (e.g., query[filters][0][0][type]=invalid_filter_nonexistent), which triggers a FilterException. This exception causes the execution to fall through to the unsanitized Legacy_Contact_Query path. Exploitation requires network access and at least Sales Representative-level authentication, allowing the attacker to append arbitrary SQL queries and extract sensitive data.
