Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated Mautic account of any kind - the advisory explicitly states exploitation works regardless of the role or permissions assigned, so no elevated privilege is needed, but anonymous/unauthenticated access is NOT sufficient (CVSS PR:L). The concrete trigger is a request to the administration AJAX endpoint /s/ajax using the action lead:getLeadIdsByFieldValue, where the request parameter that selects which contact field to search by is passed into a database query without proper validation. No user interaction is required (UI:N). Limiting factors: attacker must first hold or obtain credentials, and the vendor's partial mitigation (blocking /s/ajax with action lead:getLeadIdsByFieldValue at the web server or WAF, which only disables the duplicate-contact warning) reduces exposure without upgrading. Affected versions span >=2.1.0 up to the fixed 5.2.12, 6.0.10, and 7.2.2 branches.

Impact

This is a genuine but authentication-gated priority rather than an internet-wide emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L, score 7.1) shows a network-reachable, low-complexity attack with no user interaction, but PR:L confirms a valid Mautic account is required - so this is primarily a privilege-escalation / mass-data-exfiltration vector for any authenticated user, including the lowest-privileged ones. The high confidentiality impact is well-justified: blind SQLi against the Mautic DB user yields password hashes that enable offline cracking and lateral movement. No EPSS score was provided in the input and there is no CISA KEV listing, so there is no signal of active exploitation; exploitation status is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today priority is this_week, consistent with a serious authenticated flaw that is not yet weaponized - notable, patch promptly, but not an act_now/emergency label. The main uncertainty is exploitation volume: absence of EPSS and KEV data means real-world targeting cannot be estimated from the provided signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds or phishes any valid Mautic account - regardless of assigned role - sends crafted requests to the /s/ajax contact-lookup endpoint and manipulates the parameter that selects which contact field to search by, which is not validated before use in a SQL query. Using blind boolean-based or time-based techniques they progressively extract arbitrary database contents, including user email addresses and password hashes. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the attack is low-complexity (AC:L) once an account is obtained.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 26, 2026

Authenticated SQL injection in Mautic's contact lookup AJAX endpoint (/s/ajax) allows any valid user account, regardless of role or assigned permissions, to run blind boolean-based or time-based queries against the Mautic database and read data the database user can access, including user email addresses and password hashes, contact records, and campaign and email content. The flaw affects Mautic releases from 2.1.0 before 5.2.12, 6.0.x before 6.0.10, and 7.0.x before 7.2.2; anonymous access is not sufficient because a valid account is required. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the priority signal is this_week rather than an emergency.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Mautic 5.2.12, 6.0.10, or 7.2.2 depending on the deployed branch; these are the vendor-released fixed versions. There are no official workarounds, but the vendor states that risk can be reduced without upgrading by limiting Mautic user accounts to trusted users, deactivating unused accounts, and enforcing strong passwords, and where possible by blocking requests to /s/ajax with the action lead:getLeadIdsByFieldValue at the web server or web application firewall level. That blocking mitigation only disables the duplicate contact warning shown when editing unique identifier fields in the contact form, so the operational side effect is loss of that warning. Refer to the vendor advisory at https://github.com/mautic/mautic/security/advisories/GHSA-fj8v-c9c3-7q26 for the complete guidance.

Affected ProductsAI

Mautic releases from 2.1.0 before 5.2.12, 6.0.0 before 6.0.10, and 7.0.0 before 7.2.2 are affected, corresponding to composer/mautic/core vulnerability ranges >=2.1.0 <5.2.12, >=6.0.0 <6.0.10, and >=7.0.0 <7.2.2. Fixed releases are 5.2.12, 6.0.10, and 7.2.2; legacy Mautic 4 releases are covered through the vendor's Extended Long Term Support (ELTS) program rather than a standard fixed release.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is CWE-89 SQL injection in Mautic, a PHP/Symfony-based marketing automation platform that uses Doctrine to access its database. The vulnerable path is the administration AJAX endpoint /s/ajax, specifically the lead:getLeadIdsByFieldValue action used to look up contacts by a selected field, including the duplicate-contact warning shown when editing unique identifier fields. The request parameter that selects which contact field to search by is not properly validated before it is used in a database query, allowing an authenticated user to inject SQL. The advisory states that exploitation uses blind boolean-based or time-based techniques, with the practical data exposure limited to what the Mautic database account can read. The affected composer/mautic/core ranges are >=2.1.0 and <5.2.12, >=6.0.0 and <6.0.10, and >=7.0.0 and <7.2.2.

DescriptionCVE.org

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in a contact lookup AJAX endpoint of the Mautic administration interface (/s/ajax). A request parameter that selects the contact field to search by is not properly validated before it is used in a database query. Any authenticated Mautic user can exploit this, regardless of the role or permissions assigned to the account. Using blind (boolean-based or time-based) techniques, the attacker can run arbitrary SQL queries against the Mautic database and read any data the Mautic database user can access, including Mautic user accounts with email addresses and password hashes, contact data, and campaign and email content.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability in Mautic's contact lookup feature allows any authenticated user, even those with minimal permissions, to access sensitive database contents including user credentials and campaign data. This affects all Mautic versions before 5.2.12, 6.0.10, and 7.2.2, and while no active exploitation has been observed, the broad access granted to any account holder increases the risk of insider threats or compromised low-privilege accounts.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Restrict access to the Mautic application to trusted networks and users, enforce strong authentication, and monitor for suspicious database queries.
