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: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 27 May 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
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

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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.

AI-suggested

The suggested fix is to implement an allowlist validation for the 'property' parameter against known valid column names before using it in SQL queries. Additionally, raw string interpolation should be replaced with safe quoting of identifiers using the database's quoteIdentifier method. If you cannot patch yet, ensure that only trusted users have translations view permission and monitor for suspicious activity related to this endpoint.

Description

# GitHub Security Advisory Draft — GM-369 ## Summary SQL injection in Pimcore's translation grid date filter — the user-supplied `property` field from the filter JSON is interpolated directly into a `UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(...)))` SQL expression without parameterization or allowlist validation. ## Severity CVSS 3.1: 8.8 (High) — AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H ## Affected Component - **Package:** `pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle` - **File:** `src/Controller/Admin/TranslationController.php` - **Lines:** 565 (input), 569 (inadequate sanitization), 593 (injection point) - **Endpoint:** `POST /admin/translation/translations` ## Description The translation grid endpoint processes JSON filter parameters. When a filter has `type: "date"`, the `property` field is extracted and used to construct a SQL expression: ```php $fieldname = $filter[$propertyField]; // Line 565 — user input $fieldname = str_replace('--', '', $fieldname); // Line 569 — trivially bypassable $fieldname = $tableName . '.' . $fieldname; // Line 577 $fieldname = "UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME({$fieldname})))"; // Line 593 — injection ``` The `str_replace('--', '')` sanitization is trivially bypassable (use `/**/` comments or `----`). In non-language mode, `$fieldname` is concatenated directly into the SQL condition without quoting or parameterization. ## Impact Authenticated user with translations view permission can extract arbitrary database data via UNION-based or error-based SQL injection. Combined with GM-249 (unsafe unserialize), this enables an SQLi → deserialization → RCE chain. ## Proof of Concept ``` POST /admin/translation/translations filter=[{"property":"1))) UNION SELECT password FROM users WHERE ((1","type":"date","operator":"eq","value":"2026-01-01"}] ``` ## Suggested Fix Validate `$fieldname` against an allowlist of valid column names before SQL interpolation: ```php $allowedDateColumns = ['creationDate', 'modificationDate']; if (!in_array($fieldname, $allowedDateColumns, true)) { continue; } ``` ## References - CWE-89: SQL Injection - Related: CVE-2026-27461 (RLIKE injection in Dependency/Dao.php — different code path) --- ## Suggested Fix In `TranslationController.php`: (1) Add allowlist check for non-language fieldnames before processing. (2) Replace raw string interpolation `UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME({$fieldname})))` with `$db->quoteIdentifier($fieldname)` to prevent SQL injection in date filter expressions. ```diff --- a/src/Controller/Admin/TranslationController.php +++ b/src/Controller/Admin/TranslationController.php @@ -569,7 +569,15 @@ class TranslationController extends AdminAbstractController $fieldname = str_replace('--', '', $fieldname); if (!$languageMode && in_array($fieldname, $validLanguages) || $languageMode && !in_array($fieldname, $validLanguages)) { continue; } + // Allowlist non-language fieldnames to prevent SQL injection + $allowedNonLanguageFields = ['key', 'type', 'creationDate', 'modificationDate']; + if (!$languageMode && !in_array($fieldname, $allowedNonLanguageFields) && !in_array($fieldname, $validLanguages)) { + continue; + } + if (!$languageMode) { $fieldname = $tableName .

Impact

An authenticated user with translations view permission can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL injection attacks, potentially extracting arbitrary database data. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (High) with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Additionally, when combined with another vulnerability (GM-249), it can lead to a chain resulting in remote code execution.

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.
