CVE-2026-50636Network attack vector

Database compromise via unparameterized token-ID array

Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026

SQL injection in LimeSurvey 7.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read, alter, or destroy database data through RemoteControl. TokenDynamic::findUninvited() concatenates caller-supplied token IDs into a tid IN clause, permitting stacked SQL statements. Exploitation requires tokens/update permission and the non-default RemoteControl interface, while database access is bounded by the application account.
