Summary

CVE-2026-72599 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the e107 content management system. The news item page ID parameter is concatenated into a SQL WHERE clause without escaping, allowing a remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL. The issue is rated CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8) and affects e107 through version 2.4.0.

Technical details

  • Root cause: The news item page ID parameter is concatenated directly into a SQL WHERE clause without sanitization or escaping (CWE-89).
  • Trigger conditions: A crafted request supplying a malicious value in the news item page ID parameter; no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required.
  • Attack vector: Network — remotely exploitable over HTTP/HTTPS against an internet-facing e107 instance.
  • Impact: An attacker can read, modify, or delete all database contents, including administrator credentials, resulting in a full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected software

  • e107 versions 0 through 2.4.0 (inclusive).

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: Upgrade e107 to a fixed release once available from the vendor; monitor the official e107 project repository for the patched version and apply it as soon as it is published.
  • If no patch is available: Restrict network access to the affected e107 instance, and place it behind a web application firewall with rules to block SQL injection payloads in the news item page ID parameter. Limit exposure of the news item view to trusted networks where feasible.

How IONIX identifies potentially affected assets

IONIX matches the following signals against data already collected when it crawled the asset; identifying the technology sends no request beyond that crawl.

  • The x-powered-by response header: e107
  • The URL of a loaded script: e107.js

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.
