Summary

CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection

Details

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.

CVE-2026-79752 (GCVE-0-2026-79752)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-17 14:49 – Updated: 2026-09-17 15:20

Title

CakePHP: Multiple methods in FunctionsBuilder vulnerable to SQL injection

Summary

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP. Prior to 4.5.12, 4.6.5, 5.1.9, 5.2.14, and 5.3.7, FunctionsBuilder::cast, FunctionsBuilder::extract, FunctionsBuilder::datePart, and FunctionsBuilder::dateAdd in src/Database/FunctionsBuilder.php accept user-controlled dataType, part, or unit values and incorporate them into generated SQL as unescaped structural fragments. An application that passes untrusted input to these parameters can permit SQL injection with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact according to the database connection's privileges. This issue is fixed in versions 4.5.12, 4.6.5, 5.1.9, 5.2.14, and 5.3.7.

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.
