Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-108087 describes an SQL injection vulnerability in Apache Cocoon affecting all versions. The vulnerability arises from missing input sanitation in the SQL processor or sql:/esql: logicsheets, allowing arbitrary SQL injection. Since Apache Cocoon is a retired project, no official patch or fix will be provided. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command).
Potential Impact
An attacker with access to the vulnerable Apache Cocoon instance could exploit the lack of input sanitization to perform arbitrary SQL injection attacks. This could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation. However, since the product is no longer supported, the risk remains unless mitigated by restricting access or migrating to supported alternatives.
Mitigation Recommendations
