Technical details

The RegistryProxiesController methods check_blob_push_org_label and get_matching_products_from_org fail to sanitize user-supplied label parameters from the request path, directly interpolating them into raw SQL fragments. An attacker with the create_personal_access_tokens permission can inject SQL commands through labels to manipulate queries. The vulnerability is accessible over the network with minimal authentication and privilege requirements.
