Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in ClipBucket v5 prior to version 5.5.3 - #122 due to improper neutralization of the 'type' GET parameter in the admin_area/action_logs.php endpoint. The application takes the user-supplied value and passes it to the fetch_action_logs() function, where it is concatenated directly into a SQL WHERE clause without parameterization or validation. An authenticated attacker with at least low-level administrative access can use UNION-based SQL injection to exfiltrate arbitrary data from the database, including user hashes and system metadata. The issue is resolved in version 5.5.3 - #122 by implementing better input handling.
