Antes de la 2.1.68, una vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL autenticada en el controlador de volumen MySQL de elFinder (elFinderVolumeMySQL) permite a cualquier usuario autenticado, incluidos los usuarios con acceso de solo lectura al volumen afectado, inyectar SQL a través de un hash de archivo objetivo manipulado. La explotación exitosa puede conducir a la divulgación de datos no autorizada y a la denegación de servicio. Esta vulnerabilidad solo afecta a las instalaciones configuradas para usar el controlador de volumen MySQL. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrigió en la 2.1.68."
