Dotcms · Dotcms · CVE-2016-8902
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
dotCMS versions prior to 3.3.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved via the `sort` parameter in the categoriesServlet servlet.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.3.1, update to version 3.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the categoriesServlet servlet to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `sort` parameter in the affected servlet until the issue is resolved.
