What is CVE-2026-108963?
CVE-2026-108963 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in David-Crty databasement, published on 11 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
databasement before 1.8.2 allows remote code execution because it runs certain commands (e.g., mariadb-dump) with a database name that can be specified by any authenticated user. For example, --result-file=/app/public/index.php can write to index.php. In other words, quoting prevents OS command injection in mariadb-dump, but the argument injection alone is sufficient for code execution indirectly. NOTE: the project's composer.json file does not indicate an independently published databasement Composer package.
Weakness: CWE-88
