CVE-2026-114099
MediumCVSS 5.8Summary
Coraza from 3.0.0 before 3.8.1 has a JSON body processor that flattens nested properties into dot-separated ARGS_POST names without escaping literal dots, so distinct properties collide. Unauthenticated attackers can add a later dotted property such as account.role that overwrites a malicious nested value, hiding SQL injection payloads from OWASP CRS rules while backends still receive them.
Risk Assessment
Malicious payloads can be hidden from OWASP CRS WAF rules and delivered to the backend. This increases the risk of successful SQL injection attacks.
Recommendation
Update Coraza to version 3.8.1 or later. Until updated, consider additional JSON body validation on the application side.
Other vulnerabilities in Coraza
See all- CVE-2026-114101Medium
Coraza before 3.8.1 extracts multipart upload filenames with Go's mime.ParseMediaType, which silently ignores RFC 5987 filename* parameters whose charset is not utf-8 or us-ascii. Unauthenticated attackers can send a decoy filename with filename*=iso-8859-1''shell.php, or filename* alone, so FILES-based rules never see the real name, letting dangerous uploads reach backends that honor filename*.
- CVE-2026-114100Medium
Coraza from 3.0.4 before 3.8.1 contains a request body inspection bypass because request-body processor selection compares the entire Content-Type value exactly, so URL-encoded bodies whose Content-Type carries a media-type parameter are never parsed. Unauthenticated attackers can send application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 to keep ARGS_POST and REQUEST_BODY empty, evading body rules while the backend still processes the payload.
