Improper neutralization of SQL parameter in Prestaeg - CDesigner module for PrestaShop
In the module “CDesigner” (cdesigner) from Prestaeg for PrestaShop, a guest can perform SQL injection in affected versions.
The method CdesignerTraitementModuleFrontController::initContent() has sensitive SQL calls that can be executed with a trivial http call and exploited to forge a SQL injection.
Note : The author do not follow a conventionnal semver versionning, since each branch of each PS major version follow its own version’s logic. For one PrestaShop major version, vulnerability has been fixed since months but for others PS major version it’s still vulnerable.
This will cause confusion for the ecosystem so we defined the “impacted release” as a “safe version” for “all major PS versions”.
WARNING : This exploit is actively used to deploy webskimmer to massively steal credit cards.
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.
