1.1.10
CVE-2018-3783 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability affecting versions of flintcms before 1.1.10. This flaw allows attackers to perform blind MongoDB injection during the password reset process, potentially leading to complete account takeover. The vulnerability was published on August 21, 2018, and a fix is available in version 1.1.10.
The impact of CVE-2018-3783 is significant due to the potential for complete account takeover. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including personal information, financial details, and potentially administrative privileges. The blind MongoDB injection technique allows attackers to extract data without directly observing the results of their queries, making detection more difficult. This vulnerability resembles other database injection attacks where attackers manipulate database queries to gain unauthorized access.
CVE-2018-3783 was publicly disclosed on August 21, 2018. While no active exploitation campaigns have been definitively linked to this specific vulnerability, the severity and ease of exploitation make it a potential target. No public proof-of-concept exploits have been widely published, but the technique of blind MongoDB injection is well-understood, increasing the likelihood of exploitation if the vulnerability remains unpatched.
Organizations and individuals using flintcms versions prior to 1.1.10 are at risk, particularly those with sensitive user data stored in their MongoDB databases. Shared hosting environments where flintcms is deployed alongside other applications are also at increased risk due to the potential for cross-site contamination.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2018-3783 is to immediately upgrade to version 1.1.10 or later of flintcms. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider implementing temporary workarounds such as restricting access to the password reset functionality or implementing stricter input validation on the password reset form. While a WAF might offer some protection, it is not a substitute for patching. After upgrading, confirm the fix by attempting a password reset and verifying that the database queries are properly sanitized.
