CVE-2026-111444 Details
Description
Wheels through 4.1.2 allows SQL injection on MySQL/MariaDB with backslash escaping enabled (NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES absent) when an application supplies request data to inline-literal paths. These include opt-in parameterize=false queries and IN lists, and positions in developer-written where strings that the parser does not bind, such as BETWEEN bounds, function arguments and LIKE ESCAPE literals. Doubling single quotes without accounting for backslash escapes allows a value to alter the query. Bound paths are not affected; whereBetween() is bound from 4.1.2. This is fixed in 4.2.0.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Wheels versions through 4.1.2. This issue arises when an application sends request data to inline-literal paths, allowing maliciously crafted input to alter SQL queries. The vulnerability is present in MySQL and MariaDB with backslash escaping enabled, excluding bound paths and certain `where` string positions.
Users can upgrade to Wheels version 4.2.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. On MySQL and MariaDB, request data should be passed through bound APIs or `whereBetween` in version 4.1.2 and later. Alternatively, `NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES` can be set in the MySQL `sql_mode`.
