The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

CVE-2026-4190 is a medium severity SQL injection vulnerability in the JawherKl node-api-postgres package, affecting versions up to 2.5. The flaw exists in the User.getAll function within models/user.js, where the 'sort' argument is improperly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction and can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database. Although the vendor was notified, no patch or response has been issued, and public exploit code is available. Organizations using this package in their Node.js applications are at risk of data leakage, unauthorized data manipulation, or denial of service. Mitigation involves applying input validation and sanitization on the 'sort' parameter or replacing the affected package with a secure alternative.
