Executive Summary

CVE-2026-102247 is a vulnerability in FastAdmin versions 1.6.1.20250430 and 1.6.5.20260602. It involves the Database Management addon where authenticated administrators can execute arbitrary SQL commands without proper restrictions. The issue stems from FastAdmin's default database configuration, which connects to the MySQL root account with SUPER privileges. Attackers can exploit this by redirecting MySQL's general_log to a web-accessible PHP file and injecting PHP code via SQL, achieving remote code execution on the server.

Detection Guidance

Check if the FastAdmin application/database.php file uses the MySQL root account with SUPER privileges. Inspect the general_log setting in MySQL configuration and verify if the Database Management addon is enabled. Look for unexpected PHP files in web-accessible directories that may have been created via SQL injection.

Impact Analysis

If you use FastAdmin with the affected versions and the Database Management addon is enabled, an attacker with a valid backend administrator account could gain full control over your server. This includes executing arbitrary code, accessing sensitive data, and potentially compromising the entire system. The impact depends on whether your MySQL user has SUPER privileges.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating compliance requirements like GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information security). A successful exploit may result in data breaches, unauthorized data exposure, or loss of control over personal or protected health information, triggering legal and regulatory penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable the Database Management addon if not required. Change the MySQL database user to one without SUPER privileges and update application/database.php and .env.sample accordingly. Disable MySQL general_log if enabled and restrict file write permissions in the web directory.
