[KIS-2015-03] Concrete5 <= 5.7.4 (Access.php) SQL Injection Vulnerability

-----------------------------------------------------------
Concrete5 <= 5.7.4 (Access.php) SQL Injection Vulnerability
------------------------------
-----------------------------


[-] Software Link:

https://www.concrete5.org/


[-] Affected Versions:

Version 5.7.3.1, 5.7.4, and probably other versions.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerable code is located in /concrete/src/Permission/Access/Access.php:

168.    protected function buildAssignmentFilterString($accessType, $filterEntities)
169.    {
170.        $peIDs = '';
171.        $filters = array();
172.        if (count($filterEntities) > 0) {
173.            foreach ($filterEntities as $ent) {
174.                $filters[] = $ent->getAccessEntityID();
175.            }
176.            $peIDs .= 'and peID in (' . implode($filters, ',') . ')';
177.        }
178.        if ($accessType == 0) {
179.            $accessType = '';
180.        } else {
181.            $accessType = ' and accessType = ' . $accessType;
182.        }

The Access::buildAssignmentFilterString() method uses its $accessType parameter to construct a SQL query
without a proper validation at line 181. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary SQL commands.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an account with privileges to edit page permissions.


[-] Solution:

Update to version 5.7.4.1 or later.
