CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2019-20107 — Testlink Testlink security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.8

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in TestLink through 1.9.19 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) tproject_id parameter to keywordsView.php; the (2) req_spec_id parameter to reqSpecCompareRevisions.php; the (3) requirement_id parameter to reqCompareVersions.php; the (4) build_id parameter to planUpdateTC.php; the (5) tplan_id parameter to newest_tcversions.php; the (6) tplan_id parameter to tcCreatedPerUserGUI.php; the (7) tcase_id parameter to tcAssign2Tplan.php; or the (8) testcase_id parameter to tcCompareVersions.php. Authentication is often easy to achieve: a guest account, that can execute this attack, can be created by anyone in the default configuration.

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
