AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
AUTH_KEY possession maps to PR:H; once held, HMAC forgery is trivial (AC:L); impact is read-only database enumeration (C:H, I:N, A:N).

Emlog is an open source website building system. Prior to version 2.6.16, Emlog CMS Pro contains a blind SQL injection in User_Model::getUserDataByLogin(). The $account parameter is directly interpolated into SQL queries without any filtering. The vulnerability is reachable through the auth cookie validation path, where $username is extracted from the cookie and passed unfiltered into SQL - guarded only by an HMAC signature that requires AUTH_KEY to forge. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.16.
AnalysisAI
Blind SQL injection in Emlog CMS Pro's User_Model::getUserDataByLogin() function allows a remote attacker who controls the application's AUTH_KEY to enumerate database contents via the authentication cookie validation path. The $account value read from the HMAC-signed cookie is interpolated directly into SQL with no sanitization; the HMAC guard, which requires AUTH_KEY to forge, is the sole access barrier before the vulnerable query executes. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain the application's AUTH_KEY secret, used to sign authentication cookies via HMAC; without this key, the cookie fails validation before the injection path is reached. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the constrained risk profile: network reachability and high confidentiality impact are genuine, but the PR:H designation captures the meaningful prerequisite of holding the AUTH_KEY application secret. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Emlog Pro version 2.6.16, which contains the fix confirmed in commit 92b6eea618891b28ed0c520564dff26e170645b4 and available at https://github.com/emlog/emlog/releases/tag/pro-2.6.16. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
