CVE-2026-42847 Details
Description
ClipBucket v5 is an open source video sharing platform. Prior to 5.5.3 - #122, there is a critical SQL Injection (SQLi) vulnerability in ClipBucket, exploitable through the type parameter on the authenticated admin endpoint admin_area/action_logs.php. The endpoint admin_area/action_logs.php reads $_GET['type'], stores it in $result_array['type'], and forwards it into fetch_action_logs(), where the value is concatenated directly into a SQL WHERE condition on action_type without parameterization. This allows UNION-based SQL injection and direct data exfiltration from the database. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.5.3 - #122.
A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in ClipBucket version 5.5.3 and prior. This vulnerability exists in the admin area action logs endpoint, specifically within the type parameter. The issue arises because the endpoint concatenates user input directly into a SQL WHERE clause without proper parameterization, allowing attackers to manipulate the SQL query and exfiltrate data from the database. Exploitation requires admin privileges.
Users are advised to update to ClipBucket version 5.5.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For developers, it is recommended to replace string concatenation in SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements, and to enforce strict validation of user input before it is used in database queries.
