SQL Injection in sequelize

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 11, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Nov 20, 2023

Package

npm sequelize (npm)

Affected versions

>= 5.0.0, < 5.3.0

Patched versions

5.3.0

Description

Versions of sequelize prior to 5.3.0 (excluding v3 and v4) are vulnerable to SQL Injection. PostgreSQL optionstandard_conforming_strings is not set to on by default, which may allow attackers to inject SQL statements due to poor handling of backslashes in string literals.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 5.3.0 or later.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
