CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSQLAdmin versions prior to 0.27.1 are vulnerable due to improper handling of the attacker-controlled sortBy query parameter, which allows unauthorized sorting of hidden columns and related-model data. This can lead to information exposure, enabling attackers to infer sensitive data through the ordering of rows. Organizations using affected versions of Oracle's SQLAdmin should prioritize this vulnerability to mitigate potential data leaks.

Original NVD Description
SQLAdmin is a flexible Admin interface for SQLAlchemy models. Prior to 0.27.1, ModelView.sort_query in sqladmin/models.py accepts the attacker-controlled sortBy list-view query parameter without enforcing the configured column_sortable_list server-side allow-list in self._sort_fields. The value is resolved with getattr and passed to relationship joins and order_by, allowing requests to sort by columns hidden from column_list and by related-model columns through dotted paths. The resulting row order forms an information-exposure oracle for unexposed values, and reversing ascending and descending order confirms their relative ordering. Pairing sortBy with searchable or filterable columns and pagination can narrow the oracle toward specific values, but exact recovery depends on the application's available fields and data. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.1.
