Summary

CVE-2026-79569 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Movie_Recommend v1.0.0, affecting the sort parameter of the /loadingmore endpoint (and the related /typesortmovie endpoint). Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary SQL via unsanitized ORDER BY clause construction, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backing database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical).

Technical details

  • Root cause: The application reads the sort request parameter via request.getParameter("sort") and concatenates it directly into a MyBatis-mapped SQL statement (order by ${sort} desc) instead of using a parameterized/bound value. The unsafe concatenation occurs in MovieMapper.xml (around lines 333–342), with the tainted input passed through from IndexController.java (around lines 172–202).
  • Trigger conditions: No authentication or session is required to reach the vulnerable endpoints, and the application does not appear to implement any request-level authorization framework (e.g., Spring Security, Shiro, Sa-Token) in front of them.
  • Attack vector: Remote, unauthenticated HTTP POST requests to /Movie/loadingmore (and /typesortmovie) with a crafted sort parameter value. The underlying MySQL connection is reportedly configured with allowMultiQueries=true, which permits stacked/batched SQL queries in addition to standard UNION/subquery-based injection.
  • Impact: Demonstrated proof-of-concept techniques include time-based blind injection (e.g., sort=numrating,(SELECT SLEEP(5))) to confirm the flaw, and error-based extraction (e.g., sort=numrating desc,(SELECT extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,database())))) to disclose the database name, version, and current user. Given stacked-query support, the flaw could plausibly be extended to broader data exfiltration, modification, or destruction of database contents, and potentially further host compromise depending on database privileges.

Affected software

  • Movie_Recommend v1.0.0 — vulnerable sort parameter handling in the /loadingmore and /typesortmovie endpoints.

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
  • CWE: CWE-89 (SQL Injection)

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: No official vendor patch has been identified for this open-source project at the time of publication. Organizations running Movie_Recommend v1.0.0 should treat this as unpatched and prioritize remediation.
  • Workarounds / network mitigations:
    • Refactor the affected MyBatis mapper queries to use parameter binding (#{sort}) with a strict server-side allow-list of valid sort column names/directions instead of raw string interpolation (${sort}).
    • Disable allowMultiQueries on the MySQL JDBC connection string unless explicitly required, to reduce the impact of any residual injection points.
    • Restrict or disable public/unauthenticated access to the /loadingmore and /typesortmovie endpoints where feasible, and place a web application firewall (WAF) in front of the application to filter SQL injection patterns as an interim compensating control.
    • Monitor database and application logs for anomalous query patterns, extended response times, or SQL error messages that may indicate exploitation attempts.

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.
