Shelf is a platform for tracking physical assets. From 1.12 to before 1.20.1, a SQL injection vulnerability in the sortBy query parameter on the /assets route allows any authenticated user (any role) to execute arbitrary SQL and read data from any table in the database, including data belonging to other organizations. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.20.1.
