What is CVE-2024-43018?

Piwigo versions up to 13.8.0 are susceptible to an SQL Injection attack via the 'max_level' and 'min_register' parameters. These parameters are leveraged within the ws_user_gerList function located in the 'include/ws_functions/pwg.users.php' file. The function is also invoked by the ws.php file and can be manipulated to perform unauthorized database queries when searching for users through the '/admin.php?page=user_list' interface, potentially exposing sensitive user data.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
