CVE-2026-72562 in admin-ui-classic-bundle
Summary
by MITRE • 08/11/2026
An SQL injection vulnerability in Pimcore admin-ui-classic-bundle through version 2.3 allows authenticated backend users to execute arbitrary SQL via the DataObject grid id column filter. The filter value is concatenated directly into the SQL WHERE clause without parameterization. An attacker with backend access can exfiltrate or modify all database contents.

This vulnerability represents a critical sql injection flaw in pimcore's admin-ui-classic-bundle component affecting versions up to 2.3. The issue stems from improper input validation and sanitization within the dataobject grid filtering mechanism, specifically in how the id column filter processes user-supplied values. When authenticated backend users interact with the administrative interface and apply filters to dataobject grids, the system directly incorporates the filter parameter into sql query construction without proper parameterization or escaping mechanisms.
The technical implementation of this vulnerability aligns with common sql injection patterns where user-controllable input flows directly into executable sql statements through concatenation operations. The absence of parameterized queries means that maliciously crafted filter values can manipulate the intended sql structure, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary sql commands. This particular weakness exists within the backend administrative interface where legitimate users already possess elevated privileges, making the attack vector more dangerous as it leverages existing authentication rather than requiring additional credential compromise.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe and multifaceted, encompassing both data exfiltration and data modification capabilities. An authenticated attacker with access to the pimcore admin interface can leverage this weakness to extract sensitive database information including user credentials, configuration details, and business data. Additionally, the attacker can modify or delete database records, potentially causing significant disruption to the application's functionality and data integrity. The vulnerability effectively bypasses standard access controls since the attacker already possesses legitimate administrative credentials, making it particularly dangerous in environments where administrative access is not strictly controlled.
From a cybersecurity framework perspective, this vulnerability maps directly to cwe-89 sql injection and aligns with attack techniques described in the mitre att&ck framework under initial access and privilege escalation categories. The vulnerability demonstrates poor input handling practices that violate secure coding principles, particularly around the principle of least privilege and defense in depth strategies. Organizations should implement immediate mitigations including updating to patched versions of pimcore admin-ui-classic-bundle, implementing web application firewalls with sql injection detection capabilities, and conducting thorough code reviews to identify similar patterns throughout the application codebase. Additional defensive measures include restricting administrative access through role-based permissions and implementing database activity monitoring to detect anomalous sql execution patterns that might indicate exploitation attempts.
