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 · unedited
SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Versions 8.9.0 and below contain a time-based blind SQL Injection vulnerability. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to infer data from the database by measuring response times, potentially leading to the extraction of sensitive information. It is possible for an attacker to enumerate database, table, and column names, extract sensitive data, or escalate privileges. This is fixed in version 8.9.1.

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

A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability in SuiteCRM versions 8.9.0 and below allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through vulnerable application parameters. By crafting payloads containing SQL time-delay functions (e.g., SLEEP()) and measuring differential response times, attackers can infer database contents bit-by-bit, enabling enumeration of database schemas, tables, and columns, extraction of sensitive data, and privilege escalation.

MitigationUpgrade to SuiteCRM version 8.9.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement input validation, apply WAF rules for SQL injection patterns, and restrict database account privileges to limit potential impact.

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. Determine installed SuiteCRM version
    Locate the version file or admin interface (typically at /admin or in config.php) and note the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is 8.0.0 through 8.9.0 (anything less than 8.9.1)
  2. Verify user authentication is enabled
    Confirm that the SuiteCRM application has active user accounts and login functionality is operational
    Affected if User authentication is active, as the SQL injection requires valid credentials to reach the vulnerable code path
  3. Check network exposure of the application
    Determine whether the SuiteCRM web interface is accessible from network locations beyond the internal trusted network
    Affected if The application is externally accessible, increasing the potential attack surface for credential-based exploits
  4. Confirm database type in use
    Review database configuration (config.php or database connection settings) to identify if MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL is in use
    Affected if The vulnerability exploits time-based delays using database-specific sleep functions (SLEEP for MySQL, pg_sleep for PostgreSQL)

You are affected if your SuiteCRM version is 8.0.0 through 8.9.0 and the application has active user accounts, regardless of database type used.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 8.9.1 or later
Fixed in 8.9.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to SuiteCRM version 8.9.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement input validation, apply WAF rules for SQL injection patterns, and restrict database account privileges to limit potential impact.

Recommended fix High confidence

8.9.1

  1. 1. Plan and schedule a maintenance window for the SuiteCRM upgrade
  2. 2. Create a complete backup of the SuiteCRM database and all application files
  3. 3. Download SuiteCRM version 8.9.1 from the official SuiteCRM website or GitHub releases
  4. 4. Follow the official SuiteCRM upgrade documentation to upgrade from your current version to 8.9.1
  5. 5. Run any provided database upgrade scripts included with the 8.9.1 release
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the SuiteCRM version in the admin panel (typically under Admin > System Information)
  7. 7. Test critical CRM functionality including login, search, and data entry to ensure proper operation
  8. 8. Review application logs for any errors following the upgrade
Caveat Review the official release notes for 8.9.1 to identify any breaking changes, deprecated features, or required database schema updates specific to your current version
