Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Yot CMS Query Parameters

Yot CMS 3.3.1 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the aid and cid parameters. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with crafted SQL payloads in the aid or cid parameters to extract database information including table and column names.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 301matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

Yot CMS 3.3.1 is vulnerable to SQL injection through the aid and cid parameters in index.php, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication. This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 8.2 because it requires no user interaction, no authentication, and grants attackers direct access to the underlying database. Organizations running Yot CMS 3.3.1 can have their entire database compromised, including sensitive user data, credentials, and configuration information. The attack surface is particularly dangerous because the vulnerable endpoint is exposed via simple GET requests, making it trivial to exploit at scale.

Casky's 301 mapped skills detect this attack pattern by correlating MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0001 (Initial Access) and TA0043 (Reconnaissance) with SQL injection signatures. Practitioners using Casky would identify suspicious activity when Claude's extended reasoning identifies anomalous SQL syntax in web request parameters, detects database enumeration attempts querying information_schema or system tables, and flags unusual database response patterns indicating successful injection exploitation. The platform's skill correlation would surface GET requests to index.php containing SQL metacharacters (like UNION, SELECT, OR 1=1) in the aid/cid parameters as reconnaissance activities preceding data exfiltration, enabling defenders to detect both exploitation attempts and post-compromise database reconnaissance before attackers extract sensitive information.
