{"id":"GHSA-g7j6-fmwx-7vp8","summary":"CraftCMS's `ElementSearchController` Affected by Blind SQL Injection","details":"The `ElementSearchController::actionSearch()` endpoint is missing the `unset()` protection that\nwas added to ElementIndexesController in [GHSA-2453-mppf-46cj](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-2453-mppf-46cj).\n\nThe exact same SQL injection vulnerability (including `criteria[orderBy]`, the original advisory vector) works on this controller because the fix was never applied to it.\n\nAny authenticated control panel user (no admin required) can inject arbitrary SQL via `criteria[where]`,\n`criteria[orderBy]`, or other query properties, and extract the full database contents via boolean-based blind injection.\n\nUsers should update to the patched 5.9.9 release to mitigate the issue.","aliases":["CVE-2026-31858"],"modified":"2026-03-13T10:56:23.981024Z","published":"2026-03-11T00:27:23Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-89"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-11T00:27:23Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-11T18:16:24Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-2453-mppf-46cj"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-g7j6-fmwx-7vp8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-31858"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/e1a3dd669ae31491b86ad996e88a1d30d33d9a42"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"craftcms/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/craftcms/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.0.0-RC1"},{"fixed":"5.9.9"}]}],"versions":["5.0.0","5.0.0-RC1","5.0.1","5.0.2","5.0.3","5.0.4","5.0.5","5.0.6","5.1.0","5.1.1","5.1.10","5.1.2","5.1.3","5.1.4","5.1.5","5.1.6","5.1.7","5.1.8","5.1.9","5.2.0","5.2.0-beta.1","5.2.0-beta.2","5.2.0-beta.3","5.2.0-beta.4","5.2.0-beta.5","5.2.0-beta.6","5.2.1","5.2.10","5.2.2","5.2.3","5.2.4","5.2.4.1","5.2.5","5.2.6","5.2.7","5.2.8","5.2.9","5.3.0","5.3.0-beta.1","5.3.0-beta.2","5.3.0.1","5.3.0.2","5.3.0.3","5.3.1","5.3.2","5.3.3","5.3.4","5.3.5","5.3.6","5.4.0","5.4.0.1","5.4.1","5.4.10","5.4.10.1","5.4.2","5.4.3","5.4.4","5.4.5","5.4.5.1","5.4.6","5.4.7","5.4.7.1","5.4.8","5.4.9","5.5.0","5.5.0.1","5.5.1","5.5.1.1","5.5.10","5.5.2","5.5.3","5.5.4","5.5.5","5.5.6","5.5.6.1","5.5.7","5.5.8","5.5.9","5.6.0","5.6.0.1","5.6.0.2","5.6.1","5.6.10","5.6.10.1","5.6.10.2","5.6.11","5.6.12","5.6.13","5.6.14","5.6.15","5.6.16","5.6.17","5.6.2","5.6.3","5.6.4","5.6.5","5.6.5.1","5.6.6","5.6.7","5.6.8","5.6.9","5.6.9.1","5.7.0","5.7.0-beta.1","5.7.0-beta.2","5.7.1","5.7.1.1","5.7.10","5.7.11","5.7.2","5.7.3","5.7.4","5.7.5","5.7.6","5.7.7","5.7.8","5.7.8.1","5.7.8.2","5.7.9","5.8.0","5.8.1","5.8.10","5.8.11","5.8.12","5.8.13","5.8.13.1","5.8.13.2","5.8.14","5.8.15","5.8.16","5.8.17","5.8.18","5.8.19","5.8.2","5.8.20","5.8.21","5.8.22","5.8.23","5.8.3","5.8.4","5.8.5","5.8.6","5.8.7","5.8.8","5.8.9","5.9.0","5.9.0-beta.1","5.9.0-beta.2","5.9.1","5.9.2","5.9.3","5.9.4","5.9.5","5.9.6","5.9.7","5.9.8"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-g7j6-fmwx-7vp8/GHSA-g7j6-fmwx-7vp8.json","last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 5.9.8"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
