CVE-2023-33280
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 · uneditedIn the Store Commander scquickaccounting module for PrestaShop through 3.7.3, multiple sensitive SQL calls can be executed with a trivial HTTP request and exploited to forge a blind SQL injection.
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 · moderate confidenceA blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Store Commander scquickaccounting module for PrestaShop (versions through 3.7.3). The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via specially crafted HTTP requests due to improper input sanitization in SQL queries.

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 if scquickaccounting module is installedCheck the PrestaShop modules directory for the scquickaccounting folder. On typical installations, this is located at /modules/scquickaccounting/ or navigate to PrestaShop admin > Modules > Module Manager and search for 'quickaccounting' or 'scquickaccounting'.Affected if The scquickaccounting module folder exists in the modules directory or appears in the PrestaShop module list.
-
Check the installed version of scquickaccountingLocate the version information within the module files. Check for a config.xml, info.xml, or the main PHP file (usually scquickaccounting.php) and look for a version definition. Compare the version number against the affected range: versions prior to 3.7.4 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is lower than 3.7.4 (e.g., 3.7.3, 3.7.2, 3.7.1, etc.).
-
Verify the module is activeIn PrestaShop admin, go to Module Manager > scquickaccounting and confirm the module status shows as 'Installed' and 'Enabled'. Alternatively, check if the module database tables were created, which indicates the module has been fully installed and activated.Affected if The module shows as enabled or installed in the PrestaShop back office.
-
Check if the vulnerable front controller is accessibleThe SQL injection is exploitable via HTTP requests without authentication. Test if the module's front controller is accessible by attempting to access a URL pattern such as /modules/scquickaccounting/ or checking for publicly accessible PHP files within the module directory that handle HTTP parameters.Affected if The module directory is accessible via web and the module accepts user-supplied input through HTTP request parameters without authentication.
You are affected if the scquickaccounting module is installed and enabled with a version lower than 3.7.4, and the module's HTTP endpoints are accessible without authentication.

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.
dbcve · scoped3.7.4
Apply the vendor patch or update to a newer version of the scquickaccounting module that addresses the SQL injection. If no patch is available, implement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions.
3.7.4
- 1. Back up the current scquickaccounting module and the PrestaShop database before making any changes
- 2. Download the fixed version (3.7.4) of the scquickaccounting module from the official Store Commander source (www.storecommander.com) or the friends-of-presta advisory for verified patch information
- 3. In the PrestaShop admin panel, navigate to the Modules manager and uninstall the current vulnerable scquickaccounting module
- 4. Install the new version 3.7.4 of the scquickaccounting module
- 5. Clear the PrestaShop cache after the upgrade
- 6. Test the module functionality in a staging environment before deploying to production
- 7. Deploy the updated module to production
