SQL Injection in the sort Parameter of JHipster-Generated Reactive (WebFlux + R2DBC) Applications - Product: jhipster/generator-jhipster (npm package generator-jhipster) - Affected versions: v7.0.0 through v9.2.0 - Component: generated reactive-application code, template EntityManagerreactive.java.ejs - Report date: 2026-08-29 --- 1. Summary Every reactive (Spring WebFlux + Spring Data R2DBC + SQL) application generated by generator-jhipster contains an SQL injection in the paginated entity list endpoints (GET /api/<entity?sort=...). The sort request parameter is taken verbatim from the user and concatenated into the SQL ORDER BY clause without quoting or validation. Because the generated query has no bound parameters, the R2DBC drivers execute it via the simple query protocol, so ;-separated extra statements are run against the database. A single authenticated low-privileged user (including an account obtained through the default self-registration flow) can therefore execute…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-107375

Advisory: JHipster: SQL Injection in the Parameter of JHipster-Generated Reactive (WebFlux + R2DBC) Applicationssort
IDs: CVE-2026-107375, GHSA-r223-96jv-q533
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-107375 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:07 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: generator-jhipster 9.4.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm generator-jhipster: affected >= 7.0.0, < 9.4.0; fixed in 9.4.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls generator-jhipster --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on generator-jhipster.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r223-96jv-q533 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-r223-96jv-q533 lists affected ranges: npm generator-jhipster >=7.0.0 <9.4.0)
