SQL Injection in Drogon ORM Filter Argument Manipulation

A flaw has been found in drogonframework drogon up to 1.9.13. This affects the function makeCriteria in the library orm_lib/src/Criteria.cc of the component ORM. Executing a manipulation of the argument filter can lead to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 323matched 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

A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Drogon web framework's ORM component (versions up to 1.9.13), specifically in the makeCriteria function within orm_lib/src/Criteria.cc. By manipulating the filter argument, attackers can inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. This vulnerability affects any application using vulnerable Drogon versions for database operations, particularly those exposing ORM filtering functionality to untrusted input. With a CVSS score of 7.3 and public exploit availability, this represents a significant risk to production systems, especially given the vendor's lack of response to early disclosure notifications.

Casky's 323 mapped skills leverage Claude's extended reasoning to detect the attack patterns underlying this vulnerability across MITRE ATT&CK's Resource Development (TA0001) and Reconnaissance (TA0043) phases, though the exploitation itself follows Execution and Impact techniques. Practitioners using Casky would identify suspicious patterns including: malformed or unusually complex filter parameters in application logs, SQL metacharacters in ORM query arguments (CWE-89 indicators), improper input validation bypasses (CWE-74), and database queries executing with unexpected privileges or scope. The platform's skill-mapping would surface detection opportunities at multiple stages—from initial reconnaissance attempts probing filter parameters, through resource development testing payloads, to actual SQL injection execution. Security teams would receive findings highlighting the specific code path vulnerability and correlated log patterns indicating exploitation attempts or successful injection attacks.
