      "value": "Metacat is data repository software that helps researchers preserve, share, and discover data. Versions 2.0.0 and and above contain an unauthenticated SQL injection in the /harvesterRegistration endpoint. HarvesterRegistration.dbInsert() builds an INSERT against HARVEST_SITE_SCHEDULE via string concatenation, using a quoteString() helper that performs raw single-quote wrapping without escaping. Three request parameters reach the sink: unit, contactEmail, and documentListURL. The servlet does not verify a real LDAP identity. Allowing the vulnerable insert to proceed. Since the PostgreSQL backend permits stacked queries via Statement.executeUpdate(), this vulnerability allows full read/write/execute access in the Metacat database context. The vulnerability was remediated in Metacat 3.0.0."

      "value": "Metacat es un software de repositorio de datos que ayuda a los investigadores a preservar, compartir y descubrir datos. Las versiones 2.0.0 y superiores contienen una inyección SQL no autenticada en el endpoint /harvesterRegistration. HarvesterRegistration.dbInsert() construye una sentencia INSERT contra HARVEST_SITE_SCHEDULE mediante concatenación de cadenas, utilizando una función auxiliar quoteString() que realiza un encapsulamiento de comillas simples sin escape. Tres parámetros de solicitud llegan al sumidero: unit, contactEmail y documentListURL. El servlet no verifica una identidad LDAP real. Permitiendo que la inserción vulnerable proceda. Dado que el backend de PostgreSQL permite consultas apiladas a través de Statement.executeUpdate(), esta vulnerabilidad permite acceso completo de lectura/escritura/ejecución en el contexto de la base de datos de Metacat. La vulnerabilidad fue remediada en Metacat 3.0.0."
