CVE-2023-28108
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 · uneditedPimcore is an open source data and experience management platform. Prior to version 10.5.19, quoting is not done properly in UUID DAO model. There is the theoretical possibility to inject custom SQL if the developer is using this methods with input data and not doing proper input validation in advance and so relies on the auto-quoting being done by the DAO class. Users should update to version 10.5.19 to receive a patch or, as a workaround, apply the patch manually.
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 analysisUser input is woven into a database query, letting an attacker rewrite the query's logic. From there they can read, alter, or destroy data — frequently the entire database. The reliable fix is parameterised queries (prepared statements), so input is always treated as data and never as SQL.

dbcve · scoped10.5.19
10.5.19
- Upgrade Pimcore to version 10.5.19 or later to receive the SQL injection patch for the UUID DAO model
- If immediate upgrade is not possible, manually apply the patch from https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/commit/08e7ba56ae983c3c67ec563b6989b16ef8f35275.patch
- After upgrading or patching, verify that custom code using UUID DAO methods with user input implements proper input validation as an additional defense-in-depth measure
