This affects versions from 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.6, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1. Users are advised to upgrade to versions 4.0.7 or 4.1.2 where the issue is fixed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-57308 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in Apache Syncope that arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. Specifically, an administrator with adequate entitlements can exploit unsanitized sort parameters to execute arbitrary SQL via stacked queries. The vulnerability affects Apache Syncope versions 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.6, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1. The issue is resolved in versions 4.0.7 and 4.1.2.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an administrator to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to full compromise of the underlying database's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This can result in data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or denial of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Syncope to versions 4.0.7 or 4.1.2, which contain fixes for this vulnerability. No other mitigations are specified. Patch status is confirmed by vendor recommendations.
