Executive brief
A security vulnerability exists in the litemall e-commerce platform, specifically within its WeChat-facing interface. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate database queries to extract sensitive information, such as administrator password hashes and customer data, without needing administrative access. This could lead to a full compromise of the store's database, exposing customer personal information and order history.
Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 'list' function of WxGoodsController.java within the litemall-wx-api component. The 'sort' and 'order' HTTP parameters are passed from the front-end API to the LitemallGoodsService and subsequently used in a MyBatis Mapper XML file using string interpolation (${orderByClause}) rather than parameterized constants. This allows unauthenticated or low-privileged remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. Attackers can use error-based, boolean-based, or time-based injection techniques to leak database schema information, user data, and administrator bcrypt hashes. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released by the vendor.
