CVE-2026-18766Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated database disclosure via unchecked sort column

Published Aug 4, 2026 · Updated Aug 4, 2026

SQL injection in Chetan Shenai Core PHP Admin Panel allows remote authenticated users to read database data through filter_col. customers.php passes the GET parameter directly to MysqliDb orderBy as a column expression, letting attacker-controlled SQL alter the generated query. A valid application session is required; demonstrated time-based queries disclose database contents, while write or service impact depends on the database account's privileges.
