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.

There are no known workarounds for 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 confidence

SuiteCRM export functionality has a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the generateSearchWhere() function. The current_post parameter accepts user input that is directly used in SQL query construction without proper sanitization, allowing authenticated users to extract sensitive information including PII from the database.

MitigationUpgrade SuiteCRM to version 7.14.6 or 8.7.1 to address the input validation flaw in the export module. No workarounds exist for this vulnerability.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm SuiteCRM installation
    Locate the SuiteCRM instance in your environment and identify its installation path.
    Affected if SuiteCRM is not present in the environment, the check does not apply.
  2. Determine installed SuiteCRM version
    Check the installed SuiteCRM version number using the admin interface or version file in the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 7.14.6 OR is greater than or equal to 8.0.0 but less than 8.7.1.
  3. Verify export module is enabled
    Check if the SuiteCRM export functionality is enabled and accessible to users in the system.
    Affected if The export module is disabled or restricted to admin-only access, the vulnerability may not be exploitable.
  4. Confirm authenticated user access
    Verify that non-admin users have access to the export feature through role or profile configuration.
    Affected if Only administrators have access to the export functionality, the risk is reduced but the version check still determines exposure.

You are affected if your SuiteCRM version falls below 7.14.6 or is between 8.0.0 and 8.7.1, and authenticated users can access the export module.
