Unknown · Cms Made Simple · CVE-2021-40961
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
CMS Made Simple versions 2.2.15 and earlier
**Description**
The issue concerns SQL injection in the modules/News/function.admin articlestab.php file. Specifically, the `$sortby` variable is concatenated with `$query1`, allowing for the injection of arbitrary SQL language without using the '.' character.
**Recommendations**
For CMS Made Simple versions 2.2.15 and earlier, consider restricting access to the `function.admin articlestab.php` file until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `$sortby` variable in the affected query until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
