Network-reachable panel requires low-privilege auth (PR:L); read-only SQLi justifies C:H with I:N and A:N; database boundary crossing warrants scope change (S:C).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
An SQL injection vulnerability in Plesk Obsidian up to 18.0.80 for Linux and Windows allows an authenticated user to read arbitrary data from the panel database.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Plesk Obsidian up to version 18.0.80 on Linux and Windows allows any authenticated panel user to read arbitrary data from the underlying control panel database. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the injected queries cross the application boundary into the database tier, and the high confidentiality impact (C:H) is consistent with a hosting control panel whose database contains cross-tenant customer records, credentials, and configuration data. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Plesk Obsidian is a commercial web hosting control panel deployed on both Linux and Windows, managing domains, email accounts, databases, SSL certificates, and multi-tenant customer data through a web-based interface. The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection flaw (consistent with CWE-89, though CWE is listed as N/A in the source data) in the panel's backend query handling, where user-controlled input is insufficiently sanitized before being incorporated into database queries. The Plesk panel database typically contains highly sensitive information across all hosted tenants, including account credentials, DNS records, email settings, and billing configurations. The CVSS vector's scope change (S:C) captures the architectural reality that exploiting the web application layer yields unauthorized read access to the database tier, which sits outside the application's normal authorization boundary. The vulnerability was reported via HackerOne (support@hackerone.com), suggesting coordinated disclosure.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Plesk Obsidian beyond version 18.0.80 per the vendor advisory at https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/42431868205079. The exact patched release version is not stated in the available input data and has not been independently confirmed - consult the vendor advisory directly for the specific target version. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement IP allowlisting on the Plesk panel access port (typically TCP 8443) to restrict who can reach the vulnerable endpoint, noting this reduces attack surface but does not remediate the underlying flaw. Audit all panel user accounts and remove or disable any low-privilege accounts that are no longer needed, as exploitation requires authenticated access. Rotate Plesk database credentials after patching if unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
