AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade OpenProject to versions 16.6.9, 17.0.6, 17.1.3, or 17.2.1, depending on their current version branch. Restrict administrator privileges strictly and audit existing custom fields for suspicious or malformed entries. Implement database activity monitoring to detect unusual SQL queries related to custom fields or project identifiers. Harden the server environment by limiting filesystem permissions to prevent unauthorized git repository checkouts outside intended directories. Employ application-level input validation and sanitization for all user-controlled inputs, especially custom fields and project identifiers. Regularly review and update OpenProject and all dependencies to incorporate security patches. Consider network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the OpenProject server. Finally, monitor logs for signs of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected SQL errors or unusual repository checkout paths.
Description
CVE-2026-32698 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in OpenProject versions prior to 16.6.9, 17.0.6, 17.1.3, and 17.2.1. It arises from improper sanitization of a custom field's name used in Cost Reports, allowing attackers with administrator privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
