AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

SQL injection in the FreePBX logfiles module allows authenticated attackers to manipulate database queries and potentially extract sensitive data or modify system records. Versions prior to 16.0.10 and 17.0.5 are vulnerable, and attackers with valid FreePBX credentials can exploit this weakness to achieve high-impact unauthorized access to confidential information and system integrity. No patch is currently available for affected deployments.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

FreePBX is an open source IP PBX. Prior to versions 16.0.10 and 17.0.5, the FreePBX logfiles module contains several authenticated SQL injection vulnerabilities. This issue has been patched in versions 16.0.10 and 17.0.5.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

FreePBX instances running versions prior to 16.0.10 or 17.0.5 contain authenticated SQL injection vulnerabilities in the logfiles module that could allow attackers with valid credentials to extract sensitive data or modify database records. Organizations using affected FreePBX deployments face potential data breach and system compromise risks, particularly if user credentials have been compromised or if internal users pose a threat.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict logfiles module access via role-based access controls to administrators only; implement network-based access restrictions (firewall rules) limiting FreePBX administrative interfaces to trusted IP ranges; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting the logfiles module; disable the logfiles module if not operationally required; increase monitoring and alerting on database query anomalies and failed authentication attempts; enforce strong password policies and multi-factor authentication for FreePBX administrative accounts.
