Summary
DHIS2 (versions 2.37-2.44) contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the SqlView API endpoint. An authenticated user with SqlView access can inject arbitrary SQL queries via the filter parameter by abusing a PostgreSQL expression, with output reflected in error messages.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can extract arbitrary database content, including sensitive data, leading to confidentiality breaches and potential further attacks.
Recommendation
Upgrade DHIS2 to a patched version: 2.40.11.1/2.40.12, 2.41.8.2, 2.42.5.1, 2.43.0.1 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)
DHIS2 is a flexible information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. A SQL injection vulnerability was identified in the SqlView API endpoint of the DHIS2 application in the `filter` parameter used by the `/api/sqlViews/{viewId}/data.json` endpoint. An authenticated user with access to a SqlView can inject arbitrary SQL queries inside the `filter` parameter by abusing an expression executed by PostgreSQL and its output is reflected inside the application error message. This behavior enables attackers to extract arbitrary database content using error-based SQL injection.
