Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Aimeos Laravel ecommerce platform 2021.10 LTS has a SQL injection flaw in a review API sorting parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker may manipulate database queries and expose database structure information. For ecommerce sites, this raises risk around customer, catalog, and order data depending on deployment and database permissions.
Executive priority
Prioritize internet-facing Aimeos 2021.10 LTS stores. The issue is high severity, unauthenticated, and has public exploit information, but active exploitation is not confirmed in the provided sources. Ask teams to verify exposure and follow vendor remediation guidance promptly.
Technical view
CVE-2021-47763 is CWE-89 SQL injection in the JSON API sort parameter for the jsonapi/review endpoint. The source states crafted GET requests can reveal table and column names. CVSS v4.0 is 8.8 with network access, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Aimeos Laravel ecommerce platform 2021.10 LTS with the JSON API review endpoint reachable. Public internet-facing ecommerce deployments are higher priority. The provided sources do not identify other affected versions or configurations.
Exploitation context
An ExploitDB reference exists, indicating public exploit information is available. The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Treat this as publicly known and practical to test, but do not assume active exploitation without additional evidence.
Researcher notes
Do not infer affected versions beyond Aimeos 2021.10 LTS from this bundle. No patch version is named in the provided sources. Focus validation on version evidence, endpoint exposure, logging, and database privilege boundaries without using production exploit attempts.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory Aimeos Laravel deployments and identify any 2021.10 LTS instances.
- Check Aimeos vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported remediation.
- Apply vendor-supported updates when available and regression test ecommerce workflows.
- Limit public exposure of unnecessary JSON API endpoints where business permits.
- Monitor application and database logs for suspicious review sort parameter activity.
Validation and detection
- Confirm product and version from application dependencies or deployment records.
- Determine whether jsonapi/review is reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review access logs for unusual or repeated sort parameter requests.
- Check database account privileges used by the application.
- Document compensating controls if vendor remediation is not yet applied.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
