CVE-2026-37505 — SQL Injection via ORDER BY clause in V2Board thru 1.7.4

Medium CVSS 4.9

SQL Injection via ORDER BY clause in V2Board thru 1.7.4. In app/Http/Controllers/Admin/UserController.php, the sort parameter from user input is passed directly to User::orderBy($sort, $sortType) without validation. An authenticated admin can sort users by any database column including password, remember_token, and other sensitive fields, enabling information disclosure through ordering analysis.

Matched remediation archetype

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
