Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SOGo versions prior to 5.12.7 within the password change and contact search components. The flaw is triggered via the 'newPassword' parameter and affects installations utilizing MariaDB or PostgreSQL-based SQL user sources, specifically when the 'userPasswordAlgorithm' is set to none, plain, or cleartext. An authenticated attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary SQL statements, potentially leading to database compromise or server-side code execution. The vendor has addressed this in version 5.12.7 by implementing proper SQL adaptation for user sources.

Affected products

Alinto SOGo < 5.12.7
