CVE-2024-57521
Published: 23 December 2025
Description
SQL Injection vulnerability in RuoYi v.4.7.9 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the createTable function in SqlUtil.java.
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Information input validation directly and comprehensively prevents SQL injection by validating and sanitizing untrusted inputs to the createTable function in SqlUtil.java.
Flaw remediation addresses the vulnerability by requiring identification, prioritization, and patching of the SQL injection issue in RuoYi v4.7.9 and earlier.
Vulnerability monitoring and scanning detects the SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the createTable function, enabling timely remediation before exploitation.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2024-57521 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting RuoYi versions 4.7.9 and earlier. The issue exists in the createTable function within SqlUtil.java, where a remote attacker can inject malicious SQL payloads to execute arbitrary code. Published on 2025-12-23, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), marking it as critically severe due to its potential for full system compromise.
Any unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Exploitation grants arbitrary code execution, enabling attackers to achieve high-impact confidentiality breaches, integrity modifications, and availability disruptions, with scope expanded beyond the vulnerable component.
