Privilege escalation via custom Query Report SQL
Published Apr 16, 2026 · Updated Apr 16, 2026
SQL injection in ManageEngine PAM360 and Password Manager Pro allows remote authenticated users to gain Privileged Administrator access. The Query Report module lets a user with the Password Auditor role submit custom SQL queries to the backend database; the vendor has not disclosed the affected endpoint, parameter, or missing neutralization step. Password Auditor access is required, and successful exploitation permits escalation to Privileged Administrator and sensitive application actions.
