Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in ILIAS up to 9.21/10.9/11.2. Affected by this issue is an unknown functionality of the component Repository Trash Table. The manipulation of the argument sort with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

ILIAS before versions 9.22, 10.10, and 11.3 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the repository trash table where the table navigation sort field from HTTP requests is passed directly into the ORDER BY clause of a SQL query without validation against declared sortable columns. Authenticated users with write permission on any container can inject arbitrary SQL through the sort parameter, and because multi-statement execution is enabled in the database layer, stacked queries enable full database read and write access as well as administrator account takeover.

The advisory is available at docu.ilias.de. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-82538 since 08/29/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1505 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 9.22, 10.10 or 11.3 eliminates this vulnerability.
