CVE-2019-12600
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSuiteCRM 7.8.x before 7.8.30, 7.10.x before 7.10.17, and 7.11.x before 7.11.5 allows SQL Injection (issue 2 of 3).
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL Injection vulnerability in SuiteCRM allows attackers to manipulate database queries through unsanitized input. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or potential command execution on the underlying database server.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate SuiteCRM version fileCheck the SuiteCRM installation directory for a version file (commonly named version.php or shown in the admin panel under 'About'). The exact path varies by installation but is typically in the root directory or under include/Affected if You cannot locate a version file or the displayed version is not visible
-
Identify installed SuiteCRM versionAccess the SuiteCRM administration interface and navigate to the About or System Information page to view the installed version numberAffected if The version displayed is not visible or cannot be determined from the admin panel
-
Compare version against affected rangesCheck if the installed version falls within any of these vulnerable ranges: 7.8.0-7.8.5, 7.8.6-7.8.11, 7.8.12-7.8.29, 7.10.0-7.10.16, or 7.11.0-7.11.4Affected if The installed version is within any of these ranges: >= 7.8.0 and <= 7.8.5; >= 7.8.6 and <= 7.8.11; >= 7.8.12 and < 7.8.30; >= 7.10.0 and < 7.10.17; >= 7.11.0 and < 7.11.5
-
Confirm SQL injection vector presenceReview application access logs and user input handling for the affected SuiteCRM endpoints where unsanitized database queries could be executed through user-supplied inputAffected if The application processes user input in database queries without visible input validation or parameterized query usage
Your SuiteCRM installation is affected if it is running any version between 7.8.0 and 7.8.29 (excluding 7.8.30), between 7.10.0 and 7.10.16, or between 7.11.0 and 7.11.4, and if the application accepts user input that reaches database query logic.

dbcve · scoped7.8.307.10.177.11.5
Upgrade SuiteCRM to version 7.8.30, 7.10.17, or 7.11.5 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and parameterized queries at identified injection points.
SuiteCRM 7.8.30, 7.10.17, or 7.11.5 (or later stable release)
- 1. Back up your SuiteCRM database and filesystem completely before proceeding
- 2. Download the appropriate SuiteCRM version for your branch: 7.8.30+, 7.10.17+, or 7.11.5+ (latest stable recommended)
- 3. Put the application in maintenance mode or restrict admin access
- 4. Extract the new SuiteCRM files to your web server document root, overwriting existing files
- 5. Run the database upgrade script: php bin/console suitecrm:app:upgrade -v <version>
- 6. Clear the cache: rm -rf cache/*
- 7. Repair and rebuild: Admin > Repair > Quick Repair and Rebuild
- 8. Verify the installation by logging in and testing core functionality
