CVE-2026-50644 in SOPlanning
Summary
by MITRE • 07/09/2026
SOPlanning is vulnerable to SQL injection in the audit retention configuration. An attacker holding parameters_all rights can inject SQL commands into the audit configuration form which is then saved. The execution is triggered when the audit functionality is accessed (by the attacker or another user).
This issue was fixed in version 1.56.01.

The vulnerability identified in SOPlanning represents a critical sql injection flaw within the audit retention configuration system that enables unauthorized command execution through crafted input parameters. This weakness stems from insufficient input validation and sanitization mechanisms within the audit configuration form processing logic, allowing malicious actors with parameters_all rights to inject arbitrary sql commands that get persisted and executed when audit functionality is subsequently accessed. The vulnerability exists specifically in the handling of user-supplied data within the audit retention settings where proper parameterization or input filtering fails to prevent malicious sql code insertion.
The technical implementation of this flaw demonstrates a classic sql injection vector through user interface parameters that are directly incorporated into database queries without adequate sanitization measures. When an attacker with parameters_all privileges submits crafted sql commands through the audit configuration form, these commands become part of the stored configuration data. The execution occurs at runtime when the audit system processes the compromised configuration, effectively creating a persistent backdoor within the application's database operations. This vulnerability operates under the common weakness enumeration cwes 89 and 74 which specifically address sql injection vulnerabilities and improper neutralization of special elements used in sql commands.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data theft or modification to encompass complete system compromise through unauthorized access to database resources. An attacker can leverage this weakness to extract sensitive information, modify audit records, escalate privileges, or even gain deeper access to underlying database infrastructure. The persistence of the vulnerability means that once exploited, the malicious commands remain active until manually removed from the configuration system, providing extended unauthorized access windows. Additionally, since the execution triggers when any user accesses audit functionality, the attack can be performed by the attacker themselves or potentially by unsuspecting legitimate users who inadvertently trigger the compromised audit process.
The remediation implemented in version 1.56.01 addresses this vulnerability through proper input validation and parameterized query construction techniques that prevent malicious sql code from being executed. The fix likely incorporates input sanitization routines, prepared statement usage, or other defensive programming practices that ensure user-supplied parameters cannot be interpreted as sql commands within the audit configuration system. Organizations should immediately implement this patch to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data compromise. Security teams should also conduct thorough review of similar input handling mechanisms throughout the SOPlanning application to identify and remediate potential additional sql injection vulnerabilities, particularly in areas where user-generated content is processed within database operations.
This vulnerability aligns with several att&ck techniques including t1078 legitimate credentials, t1566 credential harvesting, and t1213 data from information repositories, demonstrating how a single sql injection flaw can enable multiple attack vectors. The requirement for parameters_all rights suggests that the vulnerability may also relate to privilege escalation techniques or insufficient access control validation within the audit system's permission model. Organizations should consider implementing additional monitoring around audit configuration changes and database query patterns to detect potential exploitation attempts and maintain defense in depth strategies against similar sql injection threats across their enterprise applications.
