Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-89.
Summary
ProcessMaker versions before 2026.14.3 are affected. The GET /api/1.0/tasks endpoint concatenates a user-controlled column name from the order_by parameter into a DB::raw() SQL subquery without validation or parameter binding (CWE-89). Any authenticated user can run blind, time-based queries to extract data that the ProcessMaker database account can read.

Description from the CNA
ProcessMaker is an open source workflow management software suite. Prior to 2026.14.3, the `GET /api/1.0/tasks` endpoint in ProcessMaker is vulnerable to SQL injection through the order_by parameter because `ProcessMaker\Traits\TaskControllerIndexMethods::applyColumnOrdering()` concatenates a user-controlled process_requests column name into a DB::raw() SQL subquery without validation or parameter binding. Any authenticated user can use blind, time-based queries to infer and extract data accessible to the ProcessMaker database account. This issue is fixed in version 2026.14.3.
