CVE-2026-48240 is a SQL injection vulnerability affecting Open ISES Tickets prior to version 3.44.2. The issue exists in ajax/statistics.php where the tick_id and f_tick_id POST parameters are unsafely concatenated into SQL SELECT statement WHERE clauses. This improper neutralization of special elements allows authenticated attackers to manipulate SQL queries, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the database. The vulnerability requires low privileges and no user interaction, with a high impact on data confidentiality. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service.

Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker to read, modify, or destroy data within the Open ISES Tickets database. This compromises data integrity and confidentiality. The attack requires only low privileges and no user interaction, making it relatively accessible to authorized users with minimal rights. There are no known exploits in the wild, but the potential impact is significant given the ability to alter database contents.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the affected ajax/statistics.php endpoint to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity involving the tick_id and f_tick_id parameters. Avoid exposing this interface to untrusted networks. Implementing input validation or web application firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts may provide temporary mitigation.
