CVE-2026-110911 Details
Description
Wheels 1.1.8 through 4.1.1 allows SQL injection when caller-supplied quoted values are parsed again as SQL by dynamic finders (such as findOneByEmail), the query builder's where(property, value) and where(property, operator, value), string/UUID-key lookup paths (findByKey, updateByKey, deleteByKey and findOrCreateBy...), and validatesUniquenessOf. The parser incorrectly treats a doubled single quote as the end of a literal. Applications passing request data to these APIs can expose authentication, password-reset or token lookups, and data to unauthorized access; numeric-column values are not affected. There is a similar concern for query-builder whereBetween() in 4.0.0 through 4.1.1: string/date bounds can alter SQL on MySQL/MariaDB with backslash escaping enabled. This is fixed in 4.1.2.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Wheels versions 1.1.8 through 4.1.1. The issue arises when caller-supplied quoted values are re-parsed as SQL by dynamic finders, the query builder's 'where' methods, string/UUID-key lookup paths, and uniqueness validations. The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to data by manipulating SQL queries, particularly in authentication and token lookup scenarios. Numeric-column values are not affected.
Users can upgrade to Wheels version 4.1.2, where this vulnerability has been fixed. In this version, the affected APIs bind values as single query parameters instead of quoting them into a WHERE string, preventing SQL injection. Additionally, request values can be validated and whitelisted before being passed to the vulnerable APIs, or records can be looked up by numeric primary key.
