CVE-2026-42550: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in flightphp core
FlightPHP core versions prior to 3. 18. 1 contain an SQL injection vulnerability in the SimplePdo::insert(), SimplePdo::update(), and SimplePdo::delete() methods. These methods improperly build SQL queries by concatenating the table name and data array keys directly without quoting or validation. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands by crafting malicious array keys when user-controlled data is passed to these methods. The vulnerability is addressed in version 3. 18. 1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
FlightPHP is a PHP micro-framework. In versions before 3.18.1, the SimplePdo helper methods insert(), update(), and delete() construct SQL statements by directly concatenating the $table argument and keys from the $data array into the query string without proper identifier quoting or validation. This improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) enables attackers to perform SQL injection by supplying malicious array keys in user-controlled data. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high severity, and was fixed in FlightPHP version 3.18.1.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with limited privileges (PR:L) to execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely (AV:N) without user interaction (UI:N). This can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected database and application data. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade FlightPHP core to version 3.18.1 or later, where this SQL injection vulnerability is fixed. Since no official patch link or remediation level is explicitly provided, users should rely on the vendor's version update to remediate this issue. Patch status is not yet confirmed beyond the version fix note; check the vendor advisory for the latest remediation guidance.
