Sensitive data extraction via unvalidated order parameter
Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026
SQL injection in Bolt CMS 3.7.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract sensitive data through the order parameter. OrderDirective.php's __invoke() method passes the user-controlled order value directly to QueryBuilder orderBy() without escaping or an allowlist. Access to a low-privileged backend account and a content overview page is required; time-based queries can disclose database records.
