## What is CVE-2026-44381?

CVE-2026-44381 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Misp-Project Misp, published on 13 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

MISP is an open source threat intelligence and sharing platform. Prior to 2.5.37, a SQL injection vulnerability existed in the handling of user-controlled ordering parameters in the event and shadow attribute listing endpoints. The affected code accepted order or sort values from request parameters and incorporated them into database query ordering clauses without sufficient validation of the requested field name. An attacker with access to the affected endpoints could craft a malicious ordering parameter to manipulate the generated SQL query. Depending on database permissions and query context, this could potentially allow unauthorized access to data, modification of query behavior, or other database-level impact. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.37.

Weakness: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-44381 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-44381 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Misp-Project Misp, published on 13 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-44381 exists.

Affected product: Misp-Project Misp. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
