Deeper analysis

RuoYi versions up to v4.6 contain a SQL injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-49371 and assigned CWE-89, that is reachable at the endpoint /system/dept/edit. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction, with impacts rated high for confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input to the affected endpoint and execute arbitrary SQL commands against the underlying database. Successful exploitation can therefore result in full read, write, or delete operations on database contents, potentially leading to data exfiltration, privilege escalation within the application, or service disruption.

Public references consist of proof-of-concept disclosures on GitHub that demonstrate the injection vector; no official vendor advisory or patch information is included in the provided sources. The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.8445 with a recorded peak of 0.8481, indicating sustained and elevated exploitation interest since disclosure.
