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: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
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: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

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.

Description

### Summary The columnConfigAction endpoint in the CustomReportsBundle is vulnerable to SQL injection. An attacker with the reports_config permission can supply a malicious SQL configuration that is concatenated into a query and executed. Although the application attempts to filter certain DDL/DML keywords (like UPDATE, DELETE, DROP), it fails to prevent arbitrary SELECT queries, UNION statements, or the use of dangerous database functions. Furthermore, because the application returns database error messages in the JSON response, an attacker can easily exfiltrate data using error-based SQL injection techniques. ### Affected scope bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php CustomReportController:columnConfigAction -> SqlAdapter::getColumns -> SqlAdapter::buildQueryString -> Db::fetchAssociative() ### PoC * Download and install the version Pimcore <=12.3.3 (latest) * Login using Admin account or any account that has reports_config permission * Navigate to custom reports * Capture the request using burp suite and perform SQLi attack as the following 1.

Impact

Exploitation allows attackers with reports_config permission to exfiltrate sensitive database information and potentially modify or delete data, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application. The application’s error messages in JSON responses facilitate error-based SQL injection attacks.

Summary

The columnConfigAction endpoint in Pimcore's CustomReportsBundle is vulnerable to SQL injection due to unsafe concatenation of user-supplied SQL configuration into queries. Although the application attempts to filter certain DDL/DML keywords, it fails to block arbitrary SELECT queries, UNION statements, and dangerous database functions. The vulnerability allows attackers with reports_config permission to execute arbitrary SQL, including error-based data exfiltration and potentially data modification. The vulnerability affects Pimcore versions <11.5.17 and >=2026.1.0 <2026.1.2.

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.
