What is CVE-2026-55082?
CVE-2026-55082 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in dhis2-core, published on 21 Jul 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
DHIS2 is a flexible information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. DHIS2 SQL View data endpoints allowed authenticated users with SQL View access to provide crafted filter values that were interpolated into generated SQL. An authenticated user with access to SQL View execution could manipulate SQL generated for SQL View filters and potentially access data outside the intended SQL View result set.
This is distinct from CVE-2026-55084, which tracks the related SQL View filter column-name injection.
Known affected release lines for this advisory: DHIS2 2.37, 2.38, and 2.39 before the 2026-06-09 EOS security updates. Patched by the 2026-06-09 EOS security updates for 2.37, 2.38, and 2.39. The same value-slot hardening was already present on later supported branches through DHIS2-20174 / PR #22253.
Weakness: CWE-89
