What it is

⚠️ A clever SQL injection lurks in Dolibarr’s expense reports module, and all it takes is a sneaky change to the qty or value_unit parameters! Imagine ordering a meal in a restaurant, but the waiter takes your order without checking it twice — that's how this SQL injection works, allowing attackers to sneak in harmful commands without a second look! If exploited, an attacker could manipulate the database, potentially altering expense records or even leaking sensitive information. While no known exploits are reported yet, this vulnerability could lead to some absolutely devastating consequences for your financial data.
