What is CVE-2020-27848?

A security flaw in dotCMS versions prior to 20.10.1 allows malicious actors to perform SQL injection attacks through the unsanitized orderBy parameter in the /api/v1/containers endpoint. This vulnerability occurs when authenticated managers utilize the PaginatorOrdered classes for pagination, as these classes fail to sanitize inputs correctly. Attackers with authenticated access could leverage this flaw to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing sensitive information.
