CVE-2025-53122

Database disclosure via unvalidated ORDER BY column

Published Jun 26, 2025 · Updated Jun 26, 2025

SQL injection in OpenNMS Horizon and Meridian allows remote authenticated users on an adjacent network to read database data. Query.applyOrder inserts the requested sort column directly into an ORDER BY clause without validating it against permitted node columns. Low-privilege access to the protected intranet interface is required, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality.
