Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

NB: All tags and branches in this repository are past their end of life, so the vulnerability will not be fixed. The advisory is posted on the request of the researcher, for the information of anyone who might still use this software. Impact There is a security vulnerability in eZ Publish Legacy, affecting the dfscleanup.php script and the getFileList function of the eZDFSFileHandlerMySQLiBackend class (kernel/private/classes/clusterfilehandlers/dfsbackends/mysqli.php). The vulnerability allows an attacker with local shell access and sufficient privileges to run dfscleanup.php to perform a union-based SQL injection against the eZ Publish MySQL database, potentially exposing sensitive data such as user credentials. It is known to affect the branch 2019.03, and it may well affect other branches. Credit The issue was found and reported by security auditor Timothé Ridel from Advens: https://www.advens.com/ Patches None, the software is past its end of life. Workarounds None. Resources -…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-38739

Advisory: ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy has a SQL injection in dfscleanup
IDs: CVE-2026-38739, GHSA-xg9x-h37w-h3r3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-38739 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:48 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy: affected >= 2019.03, <= 2019.03

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy.
- 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-xg9x-h37w-h3r3 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xg9x-h37w-h3r3 lists affected ranges: Packagist ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy >=2019.03 <=2019.03)
