CVE-2026-54529Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Information exposure via unrestricted sort ordering

Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026

Improper input validation in Smithy HQ SQLAdmin before 0.27.1 allows remote attackers to infer hidden column ordering via sortBy. ModelView.sort_query resolves the unapproved parameter with getattr and passes it into relationship joins and order_by without enforcing self._sort_fields. A reachable list view is sufficient to compare ascending and descending row order; exact value recovery depends on exposed search, filter, and pagination controls.
