CVE-2026-112144 in Events-Management-System
Summary
by MITRE • 10/19/2026
A weakness has been identified in satya-vinay Events-Management-System up to 437c77ceb69bf9fe2e3f4f46f7871b83f425383a. This affects an unknown part of the file project.sql. Executing a manipulation can lead to files or directories accessible. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Analysis

The satya-vinay Events-Management-System contains a critical security weakness within its database configuration file, specifically identified in the project.sql script up to commit 437c77ceb69bf9fe2e3f4f46f7871b83f425383a. This vulnerability stems from an improper access control mechanism that allows unauthorized entities to manipulate file paths or directory structures during execution. The core technical flaw involves the system's failure to properly validate and sanitize inputs related to file operations, which results in a path traversal condition. When an attacker executes a manipulation against this component, they can bypass intended restrictions on file system access. This misconfiguration effectively grants the ability to read, write, or execute files outside of the designated application directories, potentially exposing sensitive data such as user credentials, configuration secrets, or internal business logic stored in accessible locations.
From an operational perspective, the impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its remote exploitability and the public availability of proof-of-concept exploits. Because the attack can be performed remotely without authentication, any system running a vulnerable version of the Events-Management-System is immediately at risk. The existence of publicly available exploitation code significantly lowers the barrier for entry, allowing less sophisticated attackers to compromise the underlying infrastructure. This could lead to full system takeover if combined with other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, as access to arbitrary files often facilitates privilege escalation or further lateral movement within a network environment.
The development model employed by this project complicates remediation efforts. The use of a rolling release system for continuous delivery means that version numbers are not static and do not correspond to specific security patches in the traditional sense. Consequently, identifying whether a deployed instance is vulnerable requires checking against specific commit hashes rather than simple semantic versions. This lack of clear versioning makes automated patch management difficult for administrators who rely on standard vulnerability scanners that map CVEs to discrete software releases. Furthermore, despite being informed early through an issue report, the project maintainers have not yet responded or issued a fix, leaving users in a state of prolonged exposure without official mitigation guidance from the vendor.
This weakness aligns with Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) identifiers such as CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory and potentially CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type, depending on how the file manipulation is executed within the SQL context. In terms of offensive security frameworks, this vulnerability supports techniques found in MITRE ATT&CK, specifically T1083: File and Directory Discovery or T1567: Exfiltration Over Web Service if the accessed files are subsequently transmitted to an external location. The ability to access arbitrary directories is a foundational step for many post-exploitation activities, including credential dumping and data staging.
To mitigate this risk in the absence of an official patch from the maintainers, administrators must implement strict input validation at the application layer or web server level if possible. Configuring file system permissions to restrict write and read access to critical directories can limit the blast radius of a successful exploitation attempt. Additionally, deploying Web Application Firewalls with rules designed to detect path traversal patterns such as dot-dot-slash sequences may provide an additional layer of defense. Organizations should also consider isolating this service in a containerized environment with restricted file system mounts to prevent access to sensitive host paths until the vendor provides a resolved version or the community develops a patch for the specific commit hash identified.
