• CVE-2026-55208: 0.41% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 35.60 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary An authenticated user extracts the admin password hash and any other database content through a time-based blind SQL injection in the DateFilter column key parameter. The POST /pimcore-studio/api/website-settings endpoint (and 11 other listing endpoints) accepts a columnFilters array where the key field is interpolated directly into SQL with only manual backtick wrapping. The DateFilter uses fixed named parameters (:minTime, :maxTime), so the injected column name is not subject to PDO named parameter validation. An attacker breaks out of the backtick quoting with a backtick character and appends arbitrary SQL, including SLEEP() for time-based extraction and IF() subqueries for conditional data exfiltration. Vulnerability Details Exploitable: DateFilter with Fixed Named Parameters src/Listing/Filter/DateFilter.php lines 49-57 handle the on operator. The column key comes from user input and is placed in the SQL with manual backtick wrapping, while the named parameters are…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-55208

Advisory: Pimcore: SQL Injection via Column Name in DateFilter allows authenticated user to extract arbitrary database data including admin password hashes
IDs: CVE-2026-55208, GHSA-79cw-hfcc-7mw9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-55208 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:50 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: pimcore/studio-backend-bundle 2026.1.6, 2025.4.6. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist pimcore/studio-backend-bundle: affected < 2025.4.6; >= 2026.1.0, < 2026.1.6; fixed in 2026.1.6, 2025.4.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist pimcore/studio-backend-bundle: check the installed version with your package manager.

## 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 pimcore/studio-backend-bundle.
- 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.
