CVE-2026-0603: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
A flaw was found in Hibernate. A remote attacker with low privileges could exploit a second-order SQL injection vulnerability by providing specially crafted, unsanitized non-alphanumeric characters in the ID column when the InlineIdsOrClauseBuilder is used. This could lead to sensitive information disclosure, such as reading system files, and allow for data manipulation or deletion within the application's database, resulting in an application level denial of service.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command (CWE-89) within Hibernate's InlineIdsOrClauseBuilder. An attacker with low privileges can supply crafted non-alphanumeric characters in the ID column, leading to second-order SQL injection. This can result in unauthorized reading of system files, data manipulation, deletion, and denial of service at the application level. Red Hat's advisory indicates that the issue is fixed in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.24, which replaces earlier vulnerable versions.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low privileges to disclose sensitive information, manipulate or delete data in the database, and cause application-level denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.3 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity with low impact on availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has provided an official security update fixing this vulnerability in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.4.24 for RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. Users should apply this update after ensuring all prior relevant errata are applied and backing up their systems. The vendor advisory is the authoritative source for remediation guidance. Patch status is confirmed as fixed in version 7.4.24 of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
