SQL Injection in Pimcore Data Management Platform

Publication date: 2026-09-14

Last updated on: 2026-09-14

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform. Prior to 11.5.19, 12.3.10, and 2026.1.6, an authenticated user with reports_config permission can place attacker-controlled SQL fragments in the sql, from, where, and groupby fields of a Custom Reports configuration processed by bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php. The buildQueryString() method concatenates these values into a database query, while a blacklist omits dangerous constructs such as additional data-manipulation statements, comments, subqueries, and multiple statements. The getData() method also previously interpolated offset and limit values into a LIMIT clause without integer casting. Executing the configured report reaches fetchAllAssociative() with the constructed query and can disclose, modify, or delete arbitrary database data. This issue is fixed in versions 11.5.19, 12.3.10, and 2026.1.6.

Exploitability

CWE

KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-89 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.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-55416 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Pimcore's Custom Reports feature. An authenticated user with reports_config permission can inject malicious SQL fragments into report configurations. The system concatenates these fragments into database queries without proper parameterization. A weak blacklist fails to block dangerous constructs like UNION SELECT, stacked queries, or subqueries. Exploitation allows full database read, write, and delete access.

Detection Guidance

Check Pimcore versions for affected releases (<=2026.1.5, <=12.3.9, <=11.5.18). Review Custom Reports configurations for suspicious SQL fragments in sql, from, where, or groupby fields. Monitor database logs for unusual queries or errors.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers to access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the Pimcore database. Attackers could steal confidential information, alter records, or disrupt operations. The impact includes complete data compromise, potential compliance violations, and system downtime. The vulnerability requires only basic user access and network connectivity.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to violations of GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to personal and health data. GDPR requires protection of personal data while HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information. A successful exploit could result in data breaches, triggering mandatory notifications and potential fines under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade to patched versions (11.5.19, 12.3.10, 2026.1.6). Restrict reports_config permissions to trusted users. Deploy WAF rules to block malicious SQL patterns. Replace the SQL adapter with a parameterized query builder if possible.
