Deeper analysis
CVE-2023-3820 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting the Pimcore content management platform in versions prior to 10.6.4. The flaw resides in the GitHub repository pimcore/pimcore and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.
An authenticated attacker with high privileges can supply crafted input that is processed by the vulnerable application component, allowing arbitrary SQL commands to be executed against the backend database. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to read, modify, or delete data and potentially escalate control over the affected Pimcore instance.
Public references point to a fix merged in commit e641968979d4a2377bbea5e2a76bdede040d0b97, which updates the codebase to prevent unsanitized input from reaching SQL queries. Administrators are advised to upgrade to Pimcore 10.6.4 or later; the associated huntr.dev bounty entry documents the original report and the remediation steps applied by the maintainers.
The EPSS score has remained at 0.4119 with no material post-disclosure increase.
