Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can perform blind boolean-based data extraction and, on MySQL/MariaDB, disclose arbitrary files readable by the database process via the LOAD_FILE() function. This could lead to leakage of sensitive organizational data.
Recommendation
Upgrade Apache Fineract to a patched version immediately. Until then, restrict access to the client search API to trusted users and implement additional validation of orderBy and sortOrder parameters at the proxy or WAF level.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache Fineract
See all- CVE-2017-5663High
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.
- 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-2026-35152High
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.

A boolean-based SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Apache Fineract's Client Search API (GET /api/v1/clients) in versions up to and including 1.14.0. The orderBy and sortOrder request parameters are concatenated into a SQL query without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user with permission to view clients to inject arbitrary SQL via a crafted orderBy value. This can be leveraged to perform blind boolean-based data extraction and, on MySQL/MariaDB, to disclose arbitrary files readable by the database process via the LOAD_FILE() function. Users are recommended to upgrade to a version containing the fix
