Description
FileRun before 2026.3.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows delegated or simple administrators to execute arbitrary SQL by submitting the description parameter as an array, causing the getValuesString() method in DB/DP.php to interpolate raw array values directly into an INSERT statement without parameterization. Because the underlying PDO connection uses emulated prepared statements enabling stacked queries, attackers can manipulate the df_users_permissions table to escalate a delegated administrator account to superuser privileges, and may additionally achieve code execution via unsanitized path values passed to require_once in the logs listing component.

Impact

FileRun before 2026.3.0 contains a SQL injection flaw that allows delegated or simple administrators to inject an array in the description parameter, causing raw array values to be interpolated into an INSERT statement via the getValuesString() method. prepared statements that allow stacked queries, attackers can modify the df_users_permissions table and promote a delegated administrator to a superuser account. Additionally, the logs component unsafely passes user‑supplied path values to require_once, which can enable code execution if an attacker crafts a suitable payload.

Affected Systems

Any FileRun installation running a version older than 2026.3.0 is impacted. The flaw is triggered when the affected user submits the Groups Add action through the web interface, so all deployments with delegated or simple administrator roles that can perform that action are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating high severity. The attack vector requires authenticated access as a delegated or simple administrator, so the impact is limited to accounts with those privileges, but the consequences include privilege escalation and potential code execution. The EPSS score is not available, so the exact exploitation probability is unknown; however, the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no publicly known exploitation campaigns yet. immediate remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade FileRun to version 2026.3.0 or newer, which contains the patch for this injection flaw.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, reduce the scope of delegated or simple administrator accounts to only those who truly need the ability to add groups and monitor those accounts for anomalous input.
  • Disable PDO emulated prepared statements by setting PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES to false and configure a Web Application Firewall to filter malicious SQL payloads.
  • Ensure the logs component sanitizes any user‑supplied paths before passing them to require_once, or apply a patch that removes unsanitized includes.
