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.
