Description Doran Moppert 2019-02-19 02:04:19 UTC
A vulnerability was found in SQLAlchemy 1.2.17. An SQL Injection when the order_by parameter can be controlled.

Upstream issue:

https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/issues/4481

Upstream patch:

https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/commit/30307c4616ad67c01ddae2e1e8e34fabf6028414

Comment 1 Doran Moppert 2019-02-19 02:06:02 UTC
This flaw is related to CVE-2019-7548 (bug 1674059) and is fixed by the same upstream patch.

Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2019-02-19 02:12:16 UTC
This issue has been rated Moderate because it is not common in SQLAlchemy backed applications for the order_by parameter to be populated by an externally-controlled string. The upstream issue has more discussion about safe use of group_by and order_by.

Comment 3 Doran Moppert 2019-02-19 02:20:09 UTC
Created python-sqlalchemy tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1674060]

Comment 8 Hardik Vyas 2019-02-20 12:37:18 UTC
Statement:

This issue affects the version of python-sqlalchemy(bundled with calamari-server) shipped with Red Hat Ceph Storage 2, as it can be abused by SQL Injection.
