Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 21:32 – Updated: 2026-09-16 21:32

Details

Manticore Search versions 27.0.0 before 28.4.4 fail to validate permissions for all statements in multi-statement SQL requests, allowing read-only users to execute unauthorized queries. Attackers can append additional SELECT statements after the first statement to read credential tables and obtain password hashes that authenticate as administrators without plaintext recovery.

Severity

8.8 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
