Synopsis
MySQLjs SQL Injection Authentication BypassDescription
An SQL injection occurs when a value originating from the client's request is used within a SQL query without prior sanitisation. Typically, query escape functions or placeholders are known to prevent SQL injections. However, mysqljs/mysql is known to have different escape methods over different value types, and it could eventually cause unexpected behaviors when the attacker passes the parameter with a different value type.This injection was detected as scanner was able to bypass the authentication mechanism and access an authenticated page.
Solution
Add stringifyObjects option when calling createConnection, or adding a type control before the SQL query is executed.See Also
