The code comments there seem to imply that casting was avoided due to overflow issues with 32-bit integers.\n\nThis is surprising behavior since one of the primary purposes of an ORM is to prevent basic SQL injection.\n\nThis affects all versions of Propel: 1.x, 2.x, and 3.","severity":"critical","score":9.8,"published":"2024-05-20T17:34:33.000Z","modified":"2024-12-05T05:32:18.600Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"propel/propel","sources":[{"name":"OSV · GHSA-7vw7-qx38-37vr","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7vw7-qx38-37vr"}],"ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"2.0.0-alpha1"},{"fixed":"2.0.0-alpha8"}],"type":"ECOSYSTEM"}],"versions":["2.0.0-alpha1","2.0.0-alpha2","2.0.0-alpha3","2.0.0-alpha4","2.0.0-alpha5","2.0.0-alpha6","2.0.0-alpha7"],"fixed":["2.0.0-alpha8"]}],"sourceAffected":[],"references":["https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2/issues/1463","https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2/pull/1464","https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2/commit/cd23d7384a15cfe203e23b3a835c8ab1d81d9246","https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/security-advisories/blob/master/propel/propel/2018-02-14.yaml","https://github.com/propelorm/Propel2"],"sources":[{"name":"OSV","id":"GHSA-7vw7-qx38-37vr","modified":"2024-12-05T05:32:18.600809Z","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7vw7-qx38-37vr"}],"assessments":[{"source":"OSV","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8}],"products":[],"remediation":[],"kev":{"status":"unavailable","checkedAt":"2026-10-28T23:50:31.598Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"not-checked"}],"evidence":[]}
