CVE-2012-5701

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—💥 Exploit

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in dotProject before 2.1.7 allow remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) search_string or (2) where parameter in a contacts action, (3) dept_id parameter in a departments action, (4) project_id[] parameter in a project action, or (5) company_id parameter in a system action to index.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged using CSRF to allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
