DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in the Katello plugin for Red Hat Satellite. This vulnerability, caused by improper sanitization of user-provided input, allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the sort_by parameter of the /api/hosts/bootc_images API endpoint. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering database errors, and potentially enable Boolean-based Blind SQL injection, which could allow an attacker to extract sensitive information from the database.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using A flaw was found in the Katello should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-4324, a SQL injection vulnerability rated CVSS 5.4. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute code or inject malicious input. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Low
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: deploy WAF rules, restrict network access, enable logging.

Attack Technique

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
