What is CVE-2026-61685?
CVE-2026-61685 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in fecommunity reactpress, published on 22 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
ReactPress is a publishing system for React developers. Prior to version 3.7.0, ReactPress API list endpoints build TypeORM `QueryBuilder` conditions using unsanitized HTTP query parameter names as SQL column identifiers (e.g. `` `article.${key}` ``). TypeORM parameterizes values but not column names, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL through crafted query string keys. Version 3.7.0 contains a patch. As a workaround, allowlist allowed filter column names before interpolating into SQL.
Weakness: CWE-89
