Summary

CVE-2026-52608 is an incorrect access control vulnerability in Reportico-web, an open-source PHP reporting tool, affecting versions 8.1.0 and earlier. It allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary PHP code into the PreExecuteCode attribute of any report, leading to remote code execution regardless of the application’s safe_mode setting. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical).

Technical details

  • Root cause: improper access control (CWE-284) fails to restrict who can set or modify the PreExecuteCode attribute of a Reportico report definition.
  • The application’s safe_mode (documented as safe_design_mode) is intended to block injection of custom PHP source and dangerous SQL in report design, but this protection is not enforced for the PreExecuteCode attribute.
  • Attack vector: network, no authentication or user interaction required, low attack complexity — an attacker can submit a crafted request that sets PreExecuteCode on any report.
  • Impact: arbitrary PHP code execution on the server hosting Reportico-web, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected software

  • Reportico-web versions up to and including 8.1.0

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.8 (Critical)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: No patched release addressing this issue has been published by the Reportico-web project as of this writing; monitor the official Reportico-web repository for a fixed release and upgrade as soon as one is available.
  • If no patch is available: restrict network access to Reportico-web instances (e.g., place behind authentication at the network/proxy layer, restrict to trusted IP ranges), disable or remove internet-facing exposure of Reportico-web deployments, and monitor for unexpected PHP execution or unfamiliar report definitions on affected hosts.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
