CVE-2026-9059 (GCVE-0-2026-9059)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-20 07:41 – Updated: 2026-05-20 14:46

Title

NextGEN Gallery - SQL Injection

Summary

NextGEN Gallery version prior to 4.2.1 are vulnerable to authenticated SQL injection via the 'orderby' parameter on the REST API endpoints '/imagely/v1/galleries' and '/imagely/v1/albums'. The root cause is an insufficient sanitization function ('_clean_column()') in the data mapper layer that uses a character blacklist instead of a whitelist approach. This allows an authenticated attacker with the 'NextGEN Gallery overview' capability (assigned to the Administrator role by default) to inject arbitrary SQL into the 'ORDER BY' clause.

Severity

9.3 (Critical)

GHSA-Q977-85XC-W698

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-20 09:30 – Updated: 2026-05-20 09:30

Details

NextGEN Gallery version prior to 4.2.1 are vulnerable to authenticated SQL injection via the 'orderby' parameter on the REST API endpoints '/imagely/v1/galleries' and '/imagely/v1/albums'.

The root cause is an insufficient sanitization function ('_clean_column()') in the data mapper layer that uses a character blacklist instead of a whitelist approach. This allows an authenticated attacker with the 'NextGEN Gallery overview' capability (assigned to the Administrator role by default) to inject arbitrary SQL into the 'ORDER BY' clause.

Severity

9.3 (Critical)
