Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dotCMS versions prior to 3.5

Description The issue allows remote administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved via the "c0-e3" parameter to the "/dwr/call/plaincall/UserAjax.getUsersList.dwr" API endpoint, specifically by exploiting the c0-e3 parameter.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.5, update to version 3.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/dwr/call/plaincall/UserAjax.getUsersList.dwr" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the c0-e3 parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
