Kanboard is project management software that focuses on the Kanban methodology. In versions prior to 1.2.31authenticated user is able to perform a SQL Injection, leading to a privilege escalation or loss of confidentiality. It appears that in some insert and update operations, the code improperly uses the PicoDB library to update/insert new information. Version 1.2.31 contains a fix for this issue.
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.
