CVE-2024-32838: Apache Fineract: SQL injection vulnerabilities in offices API endpoint

[Arnout Engelen <engelen () apache org>]

Severity: important

Affected versions:

- Apache Fineract 1.4 through 1.9

Description:

SQL Injection vulnerability in various API endpoints - offices, dashboards, etc. Apache Fineract versions 1.9 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 1.10.1, 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.
