CVE-2026-16449Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via unvalidated sort field

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

SQL injection in ZS-Admin at commit b52e14536d59fda11e56e2536a1c32e82a38cead allows remote authenticated users to read database metadata. PageInfo converts orderField to snake case and passes it without an allowlist to OrderItem.asc or OrderItem.desc, which appends the value to ORDER BY. Access requires a valid account with sys:dept:page permission; crafted expressions can expose database names, users, versions, and error details.
