Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 23 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Zohocorp ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus to 6523.

AI-suggested

Organizations should prioritize the following mitigation steps: 1) Monitor vendor communications closely for official patches and apply them immediately upon release. 2) Restrict access to ADSelfService Plus interfaces to trusted networks and users, employing network segmentation and firewall rules. 3) Enforce strong authentication and account management policies to reduce the risk of compromised credentials. 4) Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the search report functionality. 5) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially within custom integrations or extensions. 6) Enable detailed logging and monitoring of database queries and application logs to detect anomalous activities indicative of injection attempts. 7) Regularly audit user privileges to ensure least privilege principles are enforced. 8) Consider temporary disabling or limiting the search report feature if feasible until patches are available. These measures collectively reduce the attack surface and limit potential exploitation vectors.

Description

Zohocorp ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus versions 6522 and below are vulnerable to authenticated SQL Injection in the search report option.

Impact

The vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations using ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus, as it enables attackers with valid credentials to perform SQL Injection attacks. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including user credentials and internal configuration data, undermining confidentiality. Integrity is also at risk since attackers can alter or delete data, potentially disrupting authentication workflows or audit trails. Although availability impact is low, partial service disruption could occur if database integrity is compromised. The exploitation ease is moderate due to the requirement for authentication but no user interaction, making insider threats or compromised accounts particularly dangerous. Organizations relying on ADSelfService Plus for password self-service and identity management could face escalated risks of lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data breaches. The absence of known exploits currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the vulnerability's high severity score and critical role of the affected product in IT infrastructure elevate the threat level.

CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (SQL Injection) (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #2OWASP Top 10 A05:2025: Injection (opens in a new tab)
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Parameterization
If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
Architecture and Design · Operation · Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment.
