SQL Injection in io.openremote:openremote-manager (CVE-2026-62238)

Summary

SQL injection in io.openremote:openremote-manager (CVE-2026-62238). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via SELECT. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.26.0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

The datapoint export API builds a PostgreSQL crosstab export query by concatenating asset display names into raw SQL. An authenticated user who can create or rename an asset and then request a crosstab datapoint export can inject SQL through the asset name. The injected query output is streamed back to the caller inside the normal ZIP/CSV export response.

This creates a practical database exfiltration primitive through the application API. In a multi-tenant deployment, this can expose data outside the attacker's tenant if the application database role can read shared manager tables.

Affected Component

  • Datapoint export endpoint for asset datapoints.
  • Crosstab export formats, specifically CSV crosstab-style exports.
  • Query builder path that constructs a COPY (SELECT ... FROM crosstab(...)) TO STDOUT statement.

Security Impact

Impact is high. A remote authenticated attacker with asset read/write capabilities can:

  • Store SQL syntax inside an asset name.
  • Trigger the crosstab export path for that asset.
  • Cause the backend to execute attacker-influenced SQL through the PostgreSQL connection used by the manager service.
  • Receive injected SELECT results in the exported CSV contained in the ZIP response.

The demonstrated impact is database data exfiltration. The proof of concept safely retrieved database execution context and an aggregate table count. A real attacker could adapt the injected SELECT to read other database tables accessible to the…
