The Apache Fineract project recommends that you secure the platform by not running it directly on the internet.  IP filtering and other techniques may be essential for all API ingress.  In particular, simply running the solution in default mode, connecting it with a front end UI, is not considered best practice for a production environment of fineract unless additional security layers and practices are added.   Please note on Securing Fineract that our advice is giving freely but is not meant as a replacement for your own due diligence.  

As of Jan 15, 2025 the project now determines on a case by case basis whether a CVE fix will be back-ported to any prior release.  The default is that all prior releases are immediately determined as EOL (end of life) when a new release happens.  

CVE-2024-32838

Description: SQL Injection vulnerability in various API endpoints - offices, dashboards, etc. Apache Fineract versions 1.90 and before have a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious data into some of the REST API endpoints' query parameter. 
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.10.0, which fixes this issue. A SQL Validator has been implemented which allows us to configure a series of tests and checks against our SQL queries that will allow us to validate and protect against nearly all potential SQL injection attacks.

Credit: We acknowledge Kabilan S - Security engineer at Zoho, for identifying the issue and Aleksander for resolving it. 

On 27 February 2024 we announced End of Life of Version 1.8.*.   All previous versions may be vulnerable to the following CVEs and we urge our users to upgrade to the latest.
