CVE-2026-44521 Details
Description
elFinder is an open-source file manager for web, written in JavaScript using jQuery UI. Prior to 2.1.68, an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the elFinder MySQL volume driver (elFinderVolumeMySQL) allows any logged-in user, including users with read-only access to the affected volume, to inject SQL through a crafted target file hash. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data disclosure and denial of service. This vulnerability only affects installations configured to use the MySQL volume driver. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.68.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in elFinder versions through 2.1.67, specifically within the MySQL volume driver (elFinderVolumeMySQL). This vulnerability allows authenticated users, including those with read-only access to the affected volume, to inject SQL by crafting specific target file hashes. Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized data disclosure and denial-of-service conditions. The issue arises because file hashes are decoded without proper validation, allowing manipulated values to interfere with SQL query logic. As a consequence, exploited queries could disclose sensitive data accessible to the MySQL account in use or cause excessive memory consumption by generating large query results.
Users can upgrade to elFinder version 2.1.68 or later to address this vulnerability.
