CVE-2019-8130
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 · uneditedA SQL injection vulnerability exists in Magento 2.2 prior to 2.2.10, Magento 2.3 prior to 2.3.3 or 2.3.2-p1. A user with store manipulation privileges can execute arbitrary SQL queries by getting access to the database connection through group instance in email templates.
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 Magento 2.2 prior to 2.2.10 and 2.3 prior to 2.3.3/2.3.2-p1. Authenticated users with store manipulation privileges can execute arbitrary SQL queries by exploiting database connection access through group instance in email templates.

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.
-
Check installed Magento versionRun the command 'php bin/magento --version' in the Magento root directory, or log into the Admin panel and navigate to System > Tools > Cache Management to view the version in the footer of the page.Affected if The version displayed is 2.2.0 through 2.2.9, or 2.3.0 through 2.3.1, or exactly 2.3.2 (these are the vulnerable versions).
-
Identify users with store manipulation privilegesIn the Admin panel, navigate to System > Permissions > All Users. For each user, click on the user and review the Roles section to determine if they are assigned a role that includes 'Stores > Configuration' or similar store manipulation access rights.Affected if Any user account exists with store manipulation privileges (this creates the prerequisite for exploitation).
-
Review email template configurations for database connection usageIn the Admin panel, navigate to Marketing > Communications > Email Templates. Examine any custom or modified templates for the use of {{depend}} or {{if}} directives that reference database connections or 'group' instances (for example, patterns like '{{config path="..."}}' or custom variables that query the database).Affected if Email templates contain directives that leverage database connection access through group instances.
The environment is affected if the installed Magento version is 2.2.0-2.2.9, 2.3.0-2.3.1, or 2.3.2 AND any authenticated user has store manipulation privileges AND email templates use database connection access through group instances.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor data2.2.102.3.2
Apply Magento security patch or upgrade to version 2.2.10, 2.3.3, or 2.3.2-p1. Review user permissions for store manipulation privileges and audit email template configurations.
