Database disclosure via comments sidx SQL injection

Published Jan 30, 2026 · Updated Jan 30, 2026

SQL injection in Navigate CMS 2.8.7 allows remote authenticated users to read database data through the comments sidx parameter. The comments listing path passes attacker-controlled sorting input into a database query, enabling time-delay expressions to act as a blind oracle. A low-privileged account can use the oracle to extract activation keys and reset an administrative password; no service interruption is reported.
