CVE-2026-44204 Details
Description
Shelf is a platform for tracking physical assets. From 1.12 to before 1.20.1, a SQL injection vulnerability in the sortBy query parameter on the /assets route allows any authenticated user (any role) to execute arbitrary SQL and read data from any table in the database, including data belonging to other organizations. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.20.1.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Shelf versions 1.12 prior to 1.20.1. The issue arises in the sortBy query parameter on the /assets route, where authenticated users can execute arbitrary SQL. This exploitation allows access to data from any table in the database, including information from other organizations. The vulnerability is rooted in the parseSortingOptions function, which fails to validate user-supplied input before it is interpolated into a raw SQL ORDER BY clause. As a result, attackers can manipulate the sorting parameter to execute malicious SQL commands.
Users can update to Shelf version 1.20.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. For those using the Docker image, pulling the latest version will also apply the fix.
