TypeORM vulnerable to SQL injection via crafted request to repository.save or repository.update

CVE-2025-60542 / GHSA-q2pj-6v73-8rgj

More information

Details

Summary

SQL Injection vulnerability in TypeORM before 0.3.26 via crafted request to repository.save or repository.update due to the sqlstring call using stringifyObjects default to false.

Details

Vulnerable Code:

const { username, city, name} = req.body;
const updateData = {
    username,
    city,
    name,
    id:userId
  }; // Developer aims to only allow above three fields to be updated    
const result = await userRepo.save(updateData);

Intended Payload (non-malicious):

username=myusername&city=Riga&name=Javad

OR

{username:\"myusername\",phone:12345,name:\"Javad\"}

SQL query produced:

UPDATE `user` 
SET `username` = 'myusername', 
    `city` = 'Riga', 
    `name` = 'Javad' 
WHERE `id` IN (1);

Malicious Payload:

username=myusername&city[name]=Riga&city[role]=admin

OR

{username:\"myusername\",city:{name:\"Javad\",role:\"admin\"}}

SQL query produced with Injected Column:

UPDATE `user` 
SET `username` = 'myusername', 
    `city` = `name` = 'Javad', 
    `role` = 'admin' 
WHERE `id` IN (1);

Above query is valid as city = name = Javad is a boolean expression resulting in city = 1 (false). “role” column is injected and updated.

Underlying issue was due to TypeORM using mysql2 without specifying a value for the stringifyObjects option. In both mysql and mysql2 this option defaults to false. This option is then passed into SQLString library as false. This results in sqlstring parsing objects in a strange way using objectToValues.

Release Notes

typeorm/typeorm (typeorm)

v0.3.26

Compare Source

Notes:

  • When using MySQL, TypeORM now connects using stringifyObjects: true, in order to avoid a potential security vulnerability
    in the mysql/mysql2 client libraries. You can revert to the old behavior by setting connectionOptions.extra.stringifyObjects = false.
  • When using SAP HANA, TypeORM now uses the built-in pool from the @sap/hana-client library. The deprecated hdb-pool
    is no longer necessary and can be removed. See https://typeorm.io/docs/drivers/sap/#data-source-options for the new pool options.

⚠️ Note on a breaking change

This release includes a technically breaking change (from this PR) in the behaviour of the delete and update methods of the EntityManager and Repository APIs, when an empty object is supplied as the criteria:

await repository.delete({})
await repository.update({}, { foo: 'bar' })
  • Old behaviour was to delete or update all rows in the table
  • New behaviour is to throw an error: Empty criteria(s) are not allowed for the delete/update method.

Why?

This behaviour was not documented and is considered dangerous as it can allow a badly-formed object (e.g. with an undefined id) to inadvertently delete or update the whole table.

When the intention actually was to delete or update all rows, such queries can be rewritten using the QueryBuilder API:

await repository.createQueryBuilder().delete().execute()
// executes: DELETE FROM table_name
await repository.createQueryBuilder().update().set({ foo: 'bar' }).execute()
// executes: UPDATE table_name SET foo = 'bar'

An alternative method for deleting all rows is to use:

await repository.clear()
// executes: TRUNCATE TABLE table_name
