SQL injection vulnerability in the "Users management" functionality in SeedDMS (formerly LetoDMS and MyDMS) before 5.1.8 allows authenticated attackers to manipulate an SQL query within the application by sending additional SQL commands to the application server. An attacker can use this vulnerability to perform malicious tasks such as to extract, change, or delete sensitive information within the database supporting the application, and potentially run system commands on the underlying operating system.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
