],
"details": "### Impact\n\nAn attacker can inject values into a PostgreSQL connection string by providing a parameter surrounded by single quotes.\n\nDepending on how the library is used in the client software, this may allow an attacker to bypass the login process, gain access to the server's IP address, etc.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe vulnerability is fixed in ADOdb versions 5.20.21 (952de6c4273d9b1e91c2b838044f8c2111150c29) and 5.21.4 or later (b4d5ce70034c5aac3a1d51d317d93c037a0938d2).\n\nThe simplest patch is to delete line 29 in `drivers/adodb-postgres64.inc.php`:\n\n```php\ndiff --git a/drivers/adodb-postgres64.inc.php b/drivers/adodb-postgres64.inc.php\nindex d04b7f67..729d7141 100644\n--- a/drivers/adodb-postgres64.inc.php\n+++ b/drivers/adodb-postgres64.inc.php\n@@ -26,7 +26,6 @@ function adodb_addslashes($s)\n {\n $len = strlen($s);\n if ($len == 0) return \"''\";\n- if (strncmp($s,\"'\",1) === 0 && substr($s,$len-1) == \"'\") return $s; // already quoted\n \n return \"'\".addslashes($s).\"'\";\n }\n```\n\n### Workarounds\n\nEnsure the parameters passed to *ADOConnection::connect()* or related functions (_nConnect()_, _pConnect()_) are not surrounded by single quotes.\n\n### Credits\n\nThanks to **Emmet Leahy** (@meme-lord) of Sorcery Ltd for reporting this vulnerability, and to the [huntr](https://huntr.dev/) team for their support.\n\n### References\n\n- Original issue report https://huntr.dev/bounties/bdf5f216-4499-4225-a737-b28bc6f5801c/\n- ADOdb reference issue #793 \n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Add a note in issue #793\n* Contact the maintainers on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/adodb/adodb)\n",
