Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-04 15:12 – Updated: 2025-11-03 18:31

Summary

The ADOdb sqlite3 driver allows SQL injection

Details

Improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a sqlite3 database and calls the metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys() or metaIndexes() methods with a crafted table name.

Note that the indicated Severity corresponds to a worst-case usage scenario, e.g. allowing user-supplied data to be sent as-is to the above-mentioned methods.

Impact

SQLite3 driver.

Patches

Vulnerability is fixed in ADOdb 5.22.10 (https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/commit/5b8bd52cdcffefb4ecded1b399c98cfa516afe03).

Workarounds

Only pass controlled data to metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys() and metaIndexes() method's $table parameter.

CVE-2025-54119 (GCVE-0-2025-54119)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-05 00:12 – Updated: 2025-11-03 17:45

Title

ADOdb's sqlite3 driver allows SQL injection

Summary

ADOdb is a PHP database class library that provides abstractions for performing queries and managing databases. In versions 5.22.9 and below, improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a sqlite3 database and calls the metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys() or metaIndexes() methods with a crafted table name. This is fixed in version 5.22.10. To workaround this issue, only pass controlled data to metaColumns(), metaForeignKeys() and metaIndexes() method's $table parameter.
