CVE-2026-72608
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A stored SQL injection vulnerability in Koha through 24.11.17, 25.05.12, 25.11.06, and 26.05.01 allows authenticated staff with the tools => label_creator permission to execute arbitrary SQL via the image_name field of a patron card layout. The image_name value is stored verbatim in the layout XML and later concatenated raw into a SQL query in patroncards/create-pdf.pl when a patron card batch is printed. An attacker can read the entire Koha database including patron PII and staff bcrypt password hashes via error-based or time-based blind injection.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL almacenada en Koha hasta 24.11.17, 25.05.12, 25.11.06, y 26.05.01 permite al personal autenticado con el permiso tools =mayor que label_creator ejecutar SQL arbitrario a través del campo image_name de un diseño de tarjeta de usuario. El valor de image_name se almacena textualmente en el XML del diseño y luego se concatena sin procesar en una consulta SQL en patroncards/create-pdf.pl cuando se imprime un lote de tarjetas de usuario. Un atacante puede leer la base de datos completa de Koha incluyendo PII de usuarios y hashes de contraseñas bcrypt del personal a través de inyección ciega basada en errores o basada en tiempo."
