Security readout for executives and security teams
dotCMS versions before 3.3.1 had an authenticated SQL injection in the Site Browser links area. A logged-in attacker could potentially run database queries through a sorting input, risking content, user, or configuration data depending on database privileges. Exposure is limited to organizations running dotCMS before 3.3.1, especially where untrusted or lower-privileged authenticated users can access Site Browser link management screens. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or multi-user dotCMS deployments. The issue requires authentication, but successful abuse could affect the CMS database and business-critical web content. Mitigation focus: Upgrade dotCMS to 3.3.1 or later where feasible.; Review the linked dotCMS pull requests and vendor guidance.; Restrict Site Browser link-management access to trusted users..
