CVE-2024-29875
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 · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in Sentrifugo 3.2, through /sentrifugo/index.php/default/reports/exportactiveuserrpt, 'sort_name' parameter. The exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote user to send a specially crafted query to the server and extract all the data from it.
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 Sentrifugo 3.2 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'sort_name' parameter in the /sentrifugo/index.php/default/reports/exportactiveuserrpt endpoint. The vulnerability enables complete database compromise including unauthorized data extraction.

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 Sentrifugo installation versionLocate the Sentrifugo installation directory and check the version file or header. Common locations include a version.php file, README, or the application header/splash page. Compare the installed version to the affected version (3.2).Affected if The installed Sentrifugo version is exactly 3.2.
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the application serves the path /sentrifugo/index.php/default/reports/exportactiveuserrpt. This can be done by reviewing web server configuration, route definitions, or attempting to access the endpoint (in a non-production environment only).Affected if The /sentrifugo/index.php/default/reports/exportactiveuserrpt endpoint exists and responds in the application.
-
Confirm sort_name parameter acceptanceReview the application code handling the exportactiveuserrpt endpoint. Locate the controller handling this route and verify it accepts and processes a 'sort_name' HTTP parameter without immediate validation or parameterization.Affected if The endpoint accepts a 'sort_name' parameter that gets used in database queries without visible sanitization or prepared statement usage in the code.
-
Inspect database query implementationExamine the PHP code for the reports/exportactiveuserrpt functionality. Search for direct string concatenation or improper interpolation of the sort_name parameter into SQL queries. Look for prepare()/bindParam() usage.Affected if The sort_name parameter is concatenated directly into SQL strings rather than being passed as a bound parameter to a prepared statement.
-
Check for application-level SQL injection protectionsReview any WAF configurations, input filtering middleware, or custom sanitization functions that may be in place before the sort_name parameter reaches the database layer.Affected if No input validation, WAF rules, or parameterized queries are present to mitigate SQL injection in this parameter.
You are affected if running Sentrifugo version 3.2 with the /sentrifugo/index.php/default/reports/exportactiveuserrpt endpoint accessible and the sort_name parameter processed without prepared statements.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for the sort_name parameter in the affected report export functionality, or apply vendor-supplied patch if available. Consider temporarily disabling the endpoint until remediation is complete.
