CVE-2026-27461
Pimcore vulnerable to SQL injection via unsanitized filter value in Dependency Dao RLIKE clause
Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform. In versions up to and including 11.5.14.1 and 12.3.2, the filter query parameter in the dependency listing endpoints is JSON-decoded and the value field is concatenated directly into RLIKE clauses without sanitization or parameterized queries. Exploiting this issue requires admin authentication. An attacker with admin panel access can extract the full database including password hashes of other admin users. Version 12.3.3 contains a patch.

Pimcore vulnerable to SQL injection via unsanitized filter value in Dependency Dao RLIKE clause
The filter query parameter in the dependency listing endpoints is JSON-decoded and the value field is concatenated directly into RLIKE clauses without sanitization or parameterized queries.
Affected code in models/Dependency/Dao.php:
- getFilterRequiresByPath() lines 90, 95, 100
- getFilterRequiredByPath() lines 148, 153, 158
All 6 locations use direct string concatenation like:
"AND LOWER(CONCAT(o.path, o.key)) RLIKE '".$value."'"
Note that $orderBy and $orderDirection in the same methods (lines 75-81) ARE properly whitelist-validated, but $value has zero sanitization.
Entry points (pimcore/admin-ui-classic-bundle ElementController.php):
- GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies (line 654)
- GET /admin/element/get-required-by-dependencies (line 714)
The controller JSON-decodes the filter query param and passes $filter['value'] straight to the Dao without any escaping.
PoC (time-based blind):
GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR SLEEP(5)#"}]
If vulnerable, the response is delayed by ~15 seconds (SLEEP runs 3 times, once per UNION arm in the inner subquery).
PoC (error-based extraction):
GET /admin/element/get-requires-dependencies?id=1&elementType=document&filter=[{"type":"string","value":"x' OR extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,(SELECT version())))#"}]
Returns the MySQL version string in the error response.
Requires admin authentication. An attacker with admin panel access can extract the full database including password hashes of other admin users.
