Technical description

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, a SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the SuiteCRM authentication mechanisms when directory support is enabled. The application fails to properly sanitize the user-supplied username before using it in a local database query. An attacker with valid, low-privilege directory credentials can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL commands, leading to complete privilege escalation (e.g., logging in as the CRM Administrator). Versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 patch the issue.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
