## 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 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-55082 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: 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.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-55082 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: dhis2-core. 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.
