CVE-2020-25638: SQL Injection
First published: Tue Sep 22 2020(Updated: )
A flaw was found in Hibernate ORM of all versions before and including 5.4.23.Final. A SQL injection in the implementation of the JPA Criteria API can permit unsanitized literals when a literal is used in the SQL comments of the query. This flaw could allow an attacker to retrieve/update/delete unauthorized information if only the attacker already has the table names and column names.

Remedy
Set hibernate.use_sql_comments to false, which is the default value, or use named parameters instead of literals. Please refer to details in https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.4/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#configurations-logging and https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.4/userguide/html_single/Hibernate_User_Guide.html#sql-query-parameters.
