Vendure, an open-source headless commerce platform built on Node.js/TypeScript, contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in its Shop API. The languageCode query parameter is interpolated directly into a raw SQL CASE expression in ProductService.findOneBySlug without parameterization or input validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to full database disclosure and denial of service.

Vendure, an open-source headless commerce platform built on Node.js/TypeScript, contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in its Shop API. The languageCode query parameter is interpolated directly into a raw SQL CASE expression in ProductService.findOneBySlug without parameterization or input validation, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to full database disclosure and denial of service.
remediation: Upgrade @vendure/core to version 3.6.2, 3.5.7, or 2.3.4 or later, which add input validation and parameterized queries for the languageCode parameter.
