openDCIM version 23.04, through commit 4467e9c4, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in Config::UpdateParameter. The install.php and container-install.php handlers pass user-supplied input directly into SQL statements using string interpolation without prepared statements or proper input sanitation. An authenticated user can execute arbitrary SQL statements against the underlying database.
