CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability exists in REDAXO, a PHP-based content management system, where the `rex_list::getSortColumn()` function improperly handles sort request parameters, allowing authenticated backend users to exploit this oversight. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, such as user passwords, through error-based enumeration of columns in joined tables. Organizations using REDAXO versions prior to 5.21.2 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate potential data exposure risks.

Original NVD Description
REDAXO is a PHP-based content management system. Prior to 5.21.2, rex_list::getSortColumn() in redaxo/src/core/lib/list.php accepts the sort request parameter without checking whether setColumnSortable() registered the requested column. An authenticated backend user can make prepareQuery() add an escaped but unauthorized ORDER BY identifier, allowing error-based enumeration of columns in joined tables and ordering by unselected sensitive fields such as rex_user.password. This issue is fixed in version 5.21.2.
