CVE-2024-2562
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 vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in PandaXGO PandaX up to 20240310. This affects the function InsertRole of the file /apps/system/services/role_menu.go. The manipulation of the argument roleKey leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-257061 was assigned to this vulnerability.
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 confidenceA critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in PandaXGO PandaX (versions up to 20240310) within the InsertRole function in /apps/system/services/role_menu.go. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized user input being passed through the roleKey argument to the SQL query, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands.

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 PandaX versionCheck the application version by examining version files in the installation directory, startup logs, or querying the application's built-in version endpoint if availableAffected if Version is 2024-03-10 or earlier (any version up to and including that date)
-
Locate the vulnerable source fileInspect the file /apps/system/services/role_menu.go and locate the InsertRole functionAffected if The file exists and contains the InsertRole function with SQL query logic handling the roleKey parameter
-
Verify SQL query construction in InsertRoleExamine the InsertRole function code to confirm whether the roleKey parameter is being concatenated directly into a raw SQL query string without using parameterized queries or prepared statementsAffected if The roleKey argument is passed directly into the SQL string without sanitization or parameter binding
-
Confirm role management API is accessibleTest access to the role management API endpoint (typically exposed at /system/role or similar path depending on deployment) to determine if the InsertRole function can be invokedAffected if The role creation API endpoint is reachable and accepts user-supplied roleKey input
-
Check for existing input validationReview application logs or test the role creation endpoint with special SQL characters in the roleKey parameter to observe whether input validation is being appliedAffected if No input validation or sanitization is performed on the roleKey parameter before SQL execution
A user is affected if they are running PandaXGO PandaX version 2024-03-10 or earlier and the role management functionality with the InsertRole function is accessible without having implemented input validation or parameterized queries on the roleKey parameter.

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 dataImmediate mitigation requires implementing parameterized queries or prepared statements for the InsertRole function, validating and sanitizing all user inputs, and applying the vendor patch if available. Until fixed, consider disabling the affected function or implementing WAF rules as a temporary measure.
