CVE-2024-39677: NHibernate SQL injection vulnerability in discriminator mappings, static fields referenced in HQL, and some utilities

July 8, 2024 (updated November 18, 2024)

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in some types implementing ILiteralType.ObjectToSQLString. Callers of these methods are exposed to the vulnerability, which includes:

  • Mappings using inheritance with discriminator values:
  • The discriminator value could be written in the mapping in a way exploiting the vulnerability of the associated discriminator type, if that type is among the vulnerable ones.
  • The current culture settings for formatting the discriminator value type could be altered in a way resulting into SQL injections with the discriminator values.
  • HQL queries referencing a static field of the application.
  • Users of the SqlInsertBuilder and SqlUpdateBuilder utilities, calling their AddColumn overload taking a literal value. These overloads are unused by NHibernate but could be used by users referencing directly these utilities.
  • Any direct use of the ObjectToSQLString methods for building SQL queries on the user side.
