CodeIgniter before 2.2.0 makes it easier for attackers to decode session cookies by leveraging fallback to a custom XOR-based encryption scheme when the Mcrypt extension for PHP is not available.

system/libraries/Email.php in CodeIgniter before 3.1.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging control over the email->from field to insert sendmail command-line arguments.

British Columbia Institute of Technology CodeIgniter 3.1.3 is vulnerable to HTTP Header Injection in the set_status_header() common function under Apache resulting in HTTP Header Injection flaws.

CodeIgniter before 3.0 and Kohana 3.2.3 and earlier and 3.3.x through 3.3.2 make it easier for remote attackers to spoof session cookies and consequently conduct PHP object injection attacks by leveraging use of standard string comparison operators to compare cryptographic hashes.

CodeIgniter is vulnerable to IP address spoofing when using proxy

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. This vulnerability may allow attackers to spoof their IP address when the server is behind a reverse proxy. This issue has been patched, please upgrade to version 4.2.11 or later, and configure `Config\App::$proxyIPs`. As a workaround, do not use `$request->getIPAddress()`.

CodeIgniter is vulnerable to improper authentication via Session Handlers

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. When an application uses (1) multiple session cookies (e.g., one for user pages and one for admin pages) and (2) a session handler is set to `DatabaseHandler`, `MemcachedHandler`, or `RedisHandler`, then if an attacker gets one session cookie (e.g., one for user pages), they may be able to access pages that require another session cookie (e.g., for admin pages). This issue has been patched, please upgrade to version 4.2.11 or later. As a workaround, use only one session cookie.

CodeIgniter 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file, which reveals the installation path in an error message, as demonstrated by system/scaffolding/views/view.php and certain other files.

B.C. Institute of Technology CodeIgniter <=3.1.13 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via system\database\DB_query_builder.php or_where_not_in() function. Note: Multiple third parties have disputed this as not a valid vulnerability.

B.C. Institute of Technology CodeIgniter <=3.1.13 is vulnerable to SQL Injection via system\database\DB_query_builder.php where() function. Note: Multiple third parties have disputed this as not a valid vulnerability.

CodeIgniter Shield Password Shucking Vulnerability

CodeIgniter Shield provides authentication and authorization for the CodeIgniter 4 PHP framework. An improper implementation was found in the password storage process. All hashed passwords stored in Shield v1.0.0-beta.3 or earlier are easier to crack than expected due to the vulnerability. Therefore, they should be removed as soon as possible. If an attacker gets (1) the user's hashed password by Shield, and (2) the hashed password (SHA-384 hash without salt) from somewhere, the attacker may easily crack the user's password. Upgrade to Shield v1.0.0-beta.4 or later to fix this issue. After upgrading, all users’ hashed passwords should be updated (saved to the database). There are no known workarounds.

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Validation Placeholders

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when you use Validation Placeholders. The vulnerability exists in the Validation library, and validation methods in the controller and in-model validation are also vulnerable because they use the Validation library internally. This issue is patched in version 4.3.5.

CodeIgniter Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap cross site scripting

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in CodeIgniter Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap up to 1998845073cf433bc6c250b0354461fbd84d0e03. This affects an unknown part. The manipulation of the argument search_title/catName/sub/name/categorie leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is 1b3da45308bb6c3f55247d0e99620b600bd85277. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-270369 was assigned to this vulnerability.

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log in codeigniter4/shield

CodeIgniter Shield is an authentication and authorization provider for CodeIgniter 4. In affected versions successful login attempts are recorded with the raw tokens stored in the log table. If a malicious person somehow views the data in the log table they can obtain a raw token which can then be used to send a request with that user's authority. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.0-beta.8. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should disable logging for successful login attempts by the configuration files.

Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in codeigniter4/shield

CodeIgniter Shield is an authentication and authorization provider for CodeIgniter 4. The `secretKey` value is an important key for HMAC SHA256 authentication and in affected versions was stored in the database in cleartext form. If a malicious person somehow had access to the data in the database, they could use the key and secretKey for HMAC SHA256 authentication to send requests impersonating that corresponding user. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.0-beta.8. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

CodeIgniter4 vulnerable to information disclosure when detailed error report is displayed in production environment

CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. Prior to CodeIgniter4 version 4.4.3, if an error or exception occurs, a detailed error report is displayed even if in the production environment. As a result, confidential information may be leaked. Version 4.4.3 contains a patch. As a workaround, replace `ini_set('display_errors', '0')` with `ini_set('display_errors', 'Off')` in `app/Config/Boot/production.php`.
