Improper neutralization of SQL parameters in the Boxtal (envoimoinscher) module from Boxtal for PrestaShop

  • Disclosed: 20.06.2023

In the Boxtal (envoimoinscher) module from Boxtal for PrestaShop, after version 3.1.10, a SQL injection vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the key parameter in the ajax.php front controller.

DANGER : It is strongly recommended to remove the module and migrate to Boxtal Connect

An HTTP request can be manipulated using the GET parameter key in the /envoimoinscher/controllers/front/ajax.php front controller, with push option, enabling a remote attacker to perform an anonymous SQL injection attack.

The issue is present in the latest version of the module. As of the date of publication of this advisory, Boxtal has announced they will not be releasing a new version to fix the issue. However, a patch is available for version 3.3.8 if requested from Boxtal.

Also, since the module is no longer maintained, it is strongly recommended to remove it and migrate to Boxtal Connect. In fact, the module has been deprecated since April 2019 and has been replaced with Boxtal Connect

Note that the vulnerability was not detected in version 3.1.10. However, Boxtal wasn’t able to confirm the exact version from which the vulnerability started.

This exploit uses a PrestaShop front controller, and most attackers can conceal the module controller’s path during the exploit, so you will never know within your conventional frontend logs that it exploits this vulnerability. You will only see “POST /” inside your conventional frontend logs. Activating the AuditEngine of mod_security (or similar) is the only way to get data to confirm this exploit.
