CakePHP: FunctionsBuilder::jsonValue() vulerable to SQL injection with PostgresDriver
CVE-2026-77635GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (cakephp/database 5.3.7, 5.2.15, 5.1.10; cakephp/cakephp 5.3.7, 5.2.15, 5.1.10), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-77635 Advisory: CakePHP: FunctionsBuilder::jsonValue() vulerable to SQL injection with PostgresDriver IDs: CVE-2026-77635, GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-77635 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:53 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.2) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: cakephp/database 5.3.7, 5.2.15, 5.1.10; cakephp/cakephp 5.3.7, 5.2.15, 5.1.10. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist cakephp/database: affected >= 5.3.0, < 5.3.7; >= 5.2.0, < 5.2.15; >= 5.1.0, < 5.1.10; fixed in 5.2.15, 5.1.10, 5.3.7 - Packagist cakephp/cakephp: affected >= 5.3.0, < 5.3.7; >= 5.2.0, < 5.2.15; >= 5.1.0, < 5.1.10; fixed in 5.2.15, 5.1.10, 5.3.7 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist cakephp/database: check the installed version with your package manager. - Packagist cakephp/cakephp: 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 cakephp/database, cakephp/cakephp. - 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://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq (OSV record GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq lists affected ranges: Packagist cakephp/cakephp >=5.3.0 =5.2.0 =5.1.0 =5.3.0 =5.2.0 =5.1.0 <5.1.10 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-fxf7-vhh8-7vpq lists affected ranges: Packagist cakephp/cakephp >=5.3.0 =5.2.0 =5.1.0 =5.3.0 =5.2.0 =5.1.0 <5.1.10) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
