CVE-2026-48236: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Open ISES Tickets
Open ISES Tickets before 3.44.2 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in db_loader.php where the multiple POST parameters (ticketsdb, ticketshost, ticketsuser, ticketspassword) are concatenated into mysqli connection arguments and dynamic SQL operating against an attacker-controlled database without sanitization. Authenticated attackers can craft requests that alter query semantics to read, modify, or destroy database contents.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48236 describes a SQL injection vulnerability in Open ISES Tickets prior to version 3.44.2. The issue exists in db_loader.php where POST parameters (ticketsdb, ticketshost, ticketsuser, ticketspassword) are used unsafely in constructing mysqli connection arguments and dynamic SQL queries. Because these inputs are not sanitized, an authenticated attacker can manipulate SQL commands to alter database contents, including reading, modifying, or deleting data.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to change the semantics of SQL queries executed by the application. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure, modification, or destruction of database information, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or patch link is provided, users should monitor Open ISES communications for updates. Until a patch is available, restrict access to trusted authenticated users and consider additional input validation or database query hardening as temporary mitigations.
