CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection

CVE-2026-79752GHSA-vjqc-q4mp-2rvf

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (cakephp/database 5.3.7, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12; cakephp/cakephp 5.3.7, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12), 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.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact The FunctionsBuilder::cast($field, $dataType), extract($part, $expr), datePart($part, $expr), dateAdd($expr, $value, $unit) methods are vulnerable to SQL injection if user controlled data is supplied to the ($dataType / $part / $unit) parameters. Patches 5.3.7, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12 contain fixes Workarounds Don't provide user controlled data to these functions/parameters.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-79752

Advisory: CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection
IDs: CVE-2026-79752, GHSA-vjqc-q4mp-2rvf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-79752 (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, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12; cakephp/cakephp 5.3.7, 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.6.5, 4.5.12. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist cakephp/database: affected >= 4.6.0, < 4.6.5; >= 5.0.0, < 5.1.9; >= 5.2.0, < 5.2.14; >= 5.3.0, < 5.3.7; >= 3.0.0, < 4.5.12; fixed in 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.5.12, 5.3.7, 4.6.5
- Packagist cakephp/cakephp: affected < 4.5.12; >= 4.6.0, < 4.6.5; >= 5.0.0, < 5.1.9; >= 5.2.0, < 5.2.14; >= 5.3.0, < 5.3.7; fixed in 5.2.14, 5.1.9, 4.5.12, 5.3.7, 4.6.5

## 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.
