CVE-2023-22580
Information Disclosure vulnerability in sequelize (npm)
What is CVE-2023-22580 About?
This vulnerability in the sequelize-js library is due to improper input filtering, which can allow malicious queries. Successful exploitation may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. The ease of exploitation depends on how user input is handled by applications using the library.
Affected Software
- sequelize
- <6.28.1
- @sequelize/core
- <7.0.0-alpha.20
Technical Details
The sequelize-js library, due to improper input filtering mechanisms, is susceptible to malicious queries. An attacker can craft specific input that bypasses the library's sanitization or validation routines. This crafted input can then be interpreted as part of a database query, allowing the attacker to inject malicious SQL fragments or manipulate query logic. The consequence is the potential for sensitive information disclosure, where an attacker can access or exfiltrate data from the database that they are not authorized to view. The specifics of the input filtering bypass would dictate the exact attack vector.
What is the Impact of CVE-2023-22580?
Successful exploitation may allow attackers to disclose sensitive information from the database, leading to unauthorized data access.
What is the Exploitability of CVE-2023-22580?
Exploitation requires providing specially crafted input to an application that uses the sequelize-js library. The complexity may vary from low to moderate depending on the application's implementation and how it processes user input. There are no explicit authentication or privilege requirements beyond the ability to submit data to a vulnerable endpoint. This can be a remote exploitation scenario if the application exposes an interface that directly or indirectly passes untrusted input to database queries. Risk factors increase if the application heavily relies on sequelize-js for database interactions with user-supplied data and lacks additional input validation layers.

What are the Available Fixes for CVE-2023-22580?
About the Fix from Resolved Security
The patch addresses CVE-2023-22580 by replacing a fallback return value ('1=1', which always evaluates to true) with an explicit error when an unsupported value is passed to the query generator. This prevents attackers from crafting queries that bypass intended filtering by injecting invalid "where" conditions, thus eliminating a potential SQL injection or privilege escalation vector.
