CVE-2026-56287Network attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via unvalidated sort parameters

Published Jul 15, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026

SQL injection in Apache Fineract 1.14.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read database data through Client Search. The Client Search API concatenates the orderBy and sortOrder request parameters into a SQL query without sufficient validation. A user needs permission to view clients; crafted orderBy values support blind extraction and can read database-process-accessible files on MySQL or MariaDB.
