Winter: SQL Injection in Backend Filter Widget numberrange Scope via numbersFromAjax

Quick fix

GHSA-m7jc-g4rc-jmvh — winter/wn-backend-module: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

composer require winter/wn-backend-module:^1.2.13

Details

## Impact

The Backend Filter widget (`Backend\Widgets\Filter`) is vulnerable to SQL injection through the `numberrange` scope type when the scope is configured with a `conditions` key. An authenticated backend user with access to a list view containing a vulnerable filter scope can inject arbitrary SQL via the filter's AJAX handler, potentially gaining read access to the full database contents.

To exploit this, an attacker must have a valid backend account with access to a list view where a third-party plugin has registered a `numberrange` filter scope using the `conditions` configuration key. No built-in Winter CMS backend views use this scope type and configuration combination, so a vanilla installation without plugins is not exploitable.

## Patches

This issue has been fixed in Winter CMS v1.2.13.
