SQL injection in jackalope/jackalope-doctrine-dbal

  • Disclosed: 14.12.2021
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

Users can provoke SQL injections if they can specify a node name or query.

Patches

Upgrade to version 1.7.4

If that is not possible, you can escape all places where $property is used to filter sv:name in the class Jackalope\Transport\DoctrineDBAL\Query\QOMWalker: XPath::escape($property).

Workarounds

Node names and xpaths can contain " or ; according to the JCR specification. The jackalope component that translates the query object model into doctrine dbal queries does not properly escape the names and paths, so that a accordingly crafted node name can lead to an SQL injection.

If queries are never done from user input, or if you validate the user input to not contain ;, you are not affected.
