LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.8.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the survey-archive participant import and SPSS-response export workflow. An authenticated user with global surveys.create permission can import a crafted .lsa archive whose participant XML creates an attacker-named attribute column. When the user exports responses from the imported non-anonymous survey, LimeSurvey passes the persisted name to Yii's select builder. Names containing parentheses are treated as SQL expressions instead of quoted identifiers, causing attacker-controlled SQL to execute with the application's database privileges.
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.7.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Central Participants Database blocklist control. An authenticated user with only global participantpanel:import permission can import a CSV participantid containing HTML. The import flow persists that value without model validation. When a CPDB editor opens the participant list, LimeSurvey derives ButtonGroupWidget id and name attributes from participantid and inserts them without HTML encoding, causing attacker-controlled markup to execute in the victim's authenticated LimeSurvey origin. Exploitation can access session-exposed data and issue same-origin requests with the victim's effective permissions.
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.14 fails to safely encode attacker-controlled content from a crafted .lss survey file when displaying import warnings, resulting in XSS in the administrative interface.
An authenticated LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.3.0 user allowed to create surveys can use their own survey as an authorized context while supplying question or answer identifiers belonging to another user's survey. The REST survey-patching endpoint checks the attacker's permission against the survey ID in the request URL, but the vulnerable persistence operations resolve the target object independently by its global qid or aid and never verify that it belongs to that authorized survey.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Lime Survey Community Edition Version v.5.3.32+220817, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the Administrator email address parameter in the General Setting function.
