CVE-2017-5663
HighSummary
In Apache Fineract versions 0.4.0-incubating, 0.5.0-incubating, and 0.6.0-incubating, an authenticated user with appropriate permissions can inject malicious SQL into SELECT queries. The 'sqlSearch' parameter on several endpoints is not sanitized and is directly appended to the query.
Risk Assessment
The ability to inject malicious SQL poses a risk of data leakage and unauthorized access to database information, which can lead to serious consequences for the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to implement proper input sanitization mechanisms and to upgrade to the latest version of Apache Fineract to minimize the risks associated with this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache Fineract
See all- CVE-2025-58130Critical
Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in Apache Fineract. This issue affects Apache Fineract through 1.11.0. The issue is fixed in version 1.12.1. Users are encouraged to upgrade to version 1.13.0, the latest release.
- CVE-2026-57821High
In Apache Fineract up to version 1.14.0, the Office Search API (GET /api/v1/offices) is vulnerable to SQL injection. The orderBy parameter is concatenated into a SQL query without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user with permission to view offices to inject arbitrary SQL. This bypasses the ColumnValidator fix for CVE-2024-32838, which does not detect bare subqueries in the ORDER BY clause.
- CVE-2026-56287High
A boolean-based SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Apache Fineract's Client Search API (GET /api/v1/clients) up to version 1.14.0. The orderBy and sortOrder parameters are concatenated into a SQL query without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user with client view permission to inject arbitrary SQL via a crafted orderBy value.
- CVE-2026-35152High
A SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Apache Fineract's Report Execution API (runreports endpoint) in versions up to and including 1.14.0. Report parameter values are incorporated into the generated SQL query without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user with permission to run reports to inject arbitrary SQL.
