MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated SLiMS staff/librarian account with access to the bibliography administration module (admin/modules/bibliography/index.php); this is the primary limiting factor (PR:L) and means the flaw is not remotely exploitable by anonymous users. The concrete trigger is supplying SQL metacharacters in the opac_hide or promoted GET parameters, which are concatenated into an unquoted numeric SQL context where escape_string() provides no protection. No special non-default configuration or user interaction is needed beyond holding staff credentials; the affected version is SLiMS 9 Bulian 9.8.0. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but second-tier priority. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) describes network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation, but PR:L is the decisive moderator: an attacker must already hold an authenticated staff account in the SLiMS backend, which is not an anonymous internet-wide attack surface. The supplied 8.8 score is inflated by I:H and A:H, yet the description characterizes the flaw as error-based information disclosure and arbitrary data extraction - a read-oriented SELECT-context injection - so confidentiality (C:H) is the real impact while integrity/availability impact is not substantiated by the text. SSVC aligns with 'poc' exploitation, Automatable:no, and Technical Impact:total, which is consistent with a credentialed, non-wormable data-theft bug. EPSS reinforces this: 0.20% (10th percentile) indicates very low predicted exploitation volume, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation. The signals are internally consistent (POC exists, low EPSS, no KEV, authentication required) and point to a real-but-targeted risk rather than a mass-exploitation emergency. Note the CPE 'cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*' and EUVD affected version 'n/a n/a' are null placeholders - affected scope is confirmed only by the product/version in the description (SLiMS 9 Bulian 9.8.0), not by structured metadata. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated staff user (or an attacker who has phished/reused staff credentials) sends a crafted GET request to admin/modules/bibliography/index.php with a malicious payload in the opac_hide or promoted parameter. Because escape_string() does not protect an unquoted numeric SQL context, the attacker injects an error-based SQL payload to extract usernames, password hashes, and other database contents. A public proof-of-concept exists (github.com/Primandito/CVE-2026-107082), lowering the skill required, though exploitation still demands valid staff authentication. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
SQL injection in SLiMS (Senayan Library Management Systems) 9 Bulian 9.8.0 allows an authenticated staff/librarian account to extract arbitrary database contents through the opac_hide and promoted GET parameters of admin/modules/bibliography/index.php, exposing patron records, credentials, and catalogue data. The flaw is reachable by any staff user with access to the bibliography administration module (PR:L), so it is not anonymously exploitable, and the primary impact per our assessment is confidentiality loss rather than data tampering. Publicly available exploit code exists (including a dedicated PoC repository) and CISA SSVC flags exploitation as 'poc', but EPSS remains low at 0.20% (10th percentile) and no active exploitation has been confirmed.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available intelligence, so the immediate fix is code-level: cast opac_hide and promoted to integers (e.g., (int)$_GET['opac_hide']) or move the query to prepared statements in admin/modules/bibliography/index.php, and track https://github.com/slims/slims9_bulian/issues/392 plus https://github.com/nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-107082 for an official release before upgrading. Compensating controls, with trade-offs: restrict access to /admin/modules/bibliography/ by network ACL or reverse-proxy rule to trusted staff subnets (reduces exposure but breaks remote librarian workflows); enforce least privilege on the SLiMS database account so the application cannot read tables it does not need (limits extraction depth, though core catalogue/patron tables remain readable); disable PHP display_errors and generic MySQL error output in production (removes the error-based channel, leaving slower blind inference); deploy a WAF rule rejecting non-numeric or metacharacter-bearing values on opac_hide/promoted (cheap and reversible, but easily bypassed by encoding and may generate false positives on legitimate admin filters); and audit application logs for anomalous requests to bibliography/index.php with SQL keywords or repeat 500 responses to detect probing. Because exploitation requires only staff credentials, also rotate passwords, enforce MFA where a plugin permits, and review accounts after any suspected exposure, since any successful injection should be treated as full disclosure of the database contents.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SLiMS is an open-source, PHP-based library management system built on MySQL/MariaDB and is widely deployed in schools, universities, and public libraries, particularly in Southeast Asia. The affected code lives in the administrative bibliography module, where the opac_hide and promoted query-string parameters control catalogue visibility and promotion flags. The code applies escape_string() to these inputs, but that routine only neutralises quote characters and backslashes; because the values are then concatenated into a numeric SQL predicate without surrounding quotes (e.g., a bare integer comparison), quote-free payloads such as boolean, UNION, or error-based constructs (extractvalue/updatexml-style) remain syntactically valid inside the statement. This is a textbook CWE-89 improper neutralisation of special elements used in an SQL command: the root cause is the mismatch between context-aware escaping and context-blind concatenation, and the most reliable exploitation primitive is error-based extraction, with blind inference as a fallback when verbose errors are suppressed. Fixing it requires integer type casting or parameterised statements, not heavier string sanitisation.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Slims (Senayan Library Management Systems) 9 Bulian 9.8.0 allows an authenticated staff user to perform SQL injection via the opac_hide and promoted GET parameters of admin/modules/bibliography/index.php, because escape_string() is applied but the values are concatenated into an unquoted numeric SQL context, leading to error-based information disclosure and arbitrary data extraction.
Executive ViewAI
SLiMS 9 Bulian 9.8.0, a library management platform, has a high-severity SQL injection that can be reached by an authenticated staff or librarian account and could expose patron records, staff credentials, and catalogue data. The risk is concentrated in library operations that grant staff access to bibliography administration, where a compromised or over-privileged account could turn a routine workflow into a confidentiality incident. Leadership should care because sensitive patron and credential data may be at stake, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis leaves compensating controls as the near-term safeguard.
Restrict the bibliography administration module to trusted staff, enforce least privilege and MFA, remove dormant accounts, deploy WAF or virtual patching for opac_hide and promoted parameters, monitor and alert on anomalous admin/modules/bibliography/index.php access and database queries, apply database least privilege, and rotate credentials if indicators of compromise appear; no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.
