Database disclosure via unparameterized agefield query
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Stored SQL injection in Koha through 24.11.17, 25.05.12, 25.11.06, and 26.05.01 allows remote authenticated users to read database contents. C4::Items::ToggleNewStatus interpolates a verbatim agefield value from an automatic item modification rule into a SQL query when the scheduled cron job runs. Staff access with the tools items_batchmod permission is required; standard MariaDB/MySQL DBI execution limits injection to SELECT reads and time delays, exposing patron PII and staff password hashes.
