Summary
Sulu: JCR-SQL2 injection via `categories` query parameter (unauthenticated)
Details

Impact

An unauthenticated JCR-SQL2 injection exists in the Smart Content category filter of the 2.x content query builder.

Category IDs supplied through the public ?categories= query parameter are only trimmed and are then concatenated directly into a JCR-SQL2 WHERE clause, without the numeric validation that the equivalent tag filter already performs. Any public page that renders a Smart Content element with category filtering enabled evaluates this parameter, so no authentication or special configuration beyond a category-filtered content block is required.

An anonymous visitor can therefore:

  • inject boolean conditions to infer the existence of, and disclose, content nodes they should not see (for example unpublished pages) via blind boolean-based extraction; and
  • submit malformed query fragments that cause query errors or resource-intensive queries, degrading availability.

Because the sink is a JCR-SQL2 query, the impact is limited to reading and enumerating content-repository nodes and to error/denial-of-service conditions; it cannot be used to modify data through this path.

Patches

Fixed in 2.6.25 and 3.0.8. Category, tag, and audience-target-group IDs are now cast to integers before they are used in the JCR-SQL2 query, so no attacker-controlled characters can reach the query.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade immediately:

  • Apply the fix manually — cast each ID to an integer where it is concatenated into the category (and, defensively, tag and audience-targeting) WHERE clause in the content Smart Content query builder.
  • Alternatively, disable category filtering on publicly reachable Smart Content elements until the patch is applied.
