Security advisory: Authenticated RCE (SQL injection) in Scrutinizer 19.7.0 (Plixer)

Description (en)

0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in Scrutinizer 19.7.0 (Plixer). The research is 
published and a proof-of-concept is available.

Authenticated RCE (SQL injection) (CVSS 8.8, authenticated)

Plixer Scrutinizer 19.7.0 concatenates the HTTP orderBy parameter directly into a SQL ORDER BY clause with no escaping 
in the adminEditLang handler. The default configuration includes the pg_cron extension and a PostgreSQL SUPERUSER 
database role, so an authenticated administrator can inject a side-effect expression that schedules a cron job 
executing arbitrary commands as the postgres user. Dynamically verified.

Impact: Arbitrary command execution on the flow-analytics appliance as the postgres user inside the default privileged 
container. The attacker can disrupt monitoring, access network flow data, and take control of the host.

Vendor has been notified. CVE ID is pending.
