Summary
SQL injection reported (CVE-2026-55084). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via filter.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
DHIS2 is a flexible information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. A SQL injection vulnerability was identified in the SqlView API endpoint of the DHIS2 application in the filter parameter used by the
/api/sqlViews/{viewId}/data.json endpoint. An authenticated user with access to a SqlView can inject arbitrary SQL queries inside the filter parameter by abusing an expression executed by PostgreSQL and its output is reflected inside the application error message. This behavior enables attackers to extract arbitrary database content using error-based SQL injection.

CVE-2026-55084 — CWE-89 / CVSS v3 8.8
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / no user interaction
Attack surface: filter
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SQL injection (CWE-89) has been reported. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via filter.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions. Attack surface: filter.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
