CVE-2019-17294
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 · uneditedSugarCRM before 8.0.4 and 9.x before 9.0.2 allows SQL injection in the export function by a Regular user.
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 SugarCRM's export function allows an authenticated Regular user to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially enabling data exfiltration or database compromise.

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.
-
Identify installed SugarCRM versionLocate the SugarCRM version file (typically sugar_version.php in the application root or version information in the admin panel) and read the version numberAffected if Version is 7.9.0.0 through 7.9.4.x, 8.0.0 through 8.0.3.x, or 9.0.0 through 9.0.1.x (falls within any of the three vulnerable ranges)
-
Verify user role and export accessCheck if any authenticated user account with 'Regular' user role exists and has permission to access the Export functionality in the Roles and ACL settingsAffected if Regular (non-admin) users are able to access the export feature
-
Confirm export module is enabledNavigate to the module builder or admin settings and verify that the Export action is enabled for the affected modules (typically available for all standard modules like Contacts, Leads, Accounts)Affected if Export functionality is enabled for any standard CRM modules accessible to regular users
-
Review export function accessibilityIn the user profile or role settings, verify that the 'Export' permission is granted to regular user roles (found under ACL roles management under the Users and Roles section)Affected if Regular user role explicitly includes Export permission or inherits it from a parent role
You are affected if your SugarCRM version is 7.9.0.0-7.9.4.x, 8.0.0-8.0.3.x, or 9.0.0-9.0.1.x AND regular authenticated users can access the export function.
