Apache Syncope disclosed CVE-2026-57308, an important SQL injection vulnerability in the Audit Events search functionality that can let an authenticated administrator with sufficient entitlements execute arbitrary SQL through stacked queries. The issue is caused by improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, specifically unsanitized sort parameters handled by the application.
The vulnerability affects Apache Syncope versions 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.6, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1. Apache advised users to upgrade to 4.0.7 or 4.1.2 to remediate the flaw, and credited Lennart Hostettler with reporting the issue.

Apache released security updates for its Syncope identity and access management platform to fix multiple vulnerabilities across the 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1 branches, including remote code execution, SQL injection, privilege escalation, SSRF, information disclosure, XXE, XSS, and cryptographic weaknesses. The most severe issues include several Groovy-related post-authentication RCE flaws, while `CVE-2026-57308` affects Audit Events search through an unsanitized sort parameter that can enable authenticated SQL injection, and `CVE-2026-62183` can let a regular user elevate privileges through certain self-service workflow configurations and obtain administrator-level entitlements. Affected releases include Syncope 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.16, 4.0.0-M0 through 4.0.6, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.1 for the newly disclosed SQL injection and privilege escalation bugs, with Apache delivering fixes in versions **4.0.7** and **4.1.2** and noting that some older flaws were addressed in earlier point releases such as **4.1.1**, **4.0.6**, **4.0.4**, **4.0.3**, **3.0.16**, and **3.0.15**. Apache said binary hotfixes are not available, requiring organizations to upgrade or rebuild from patched source, and urged administrators to review roles, entitlements, and self-service workflows; no public exploitation has been confirmed.

The Apache Software Foundation released security updates for *Apache Syncope* to address vulnerabilities that could enable **session hijacking** and **sensitive data exposure** in identity-management deployments. One issue, **CVE-2026-23794**, is a **reflected XSS** flaw in the **Enduser Login** page where an attacker can trick a user into clicking a crafted link, leading to arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim’s browser and potential theft of session cookies or actions performed as the user. A second issue, **CVE-2026-23795**, is an **XML External Entity (XXE)** vulnerability in the **Syncope Console** related to creating/editing **Keymaster parameters**; it requires an attacker to have (or obtain) administrator-level entitlements, but can then be used to submit malicious XML to trigger data leakage and potentially facilitate session compromise. Reported affected versions include **3.0–3.0.15** and **4.0–4.0.3**, with fixes available in **3.0.16** and **4.0.4**; organizations running impacted releases are advised to upgrade promptly, particularly given Syncope’s role in authentication and access control.

Apache disclosed **CVE-2026-56287**, an important-severity vulnerability in **Apache Fineract** that allows an authenticated user to exploit the Client Search API through insufficient validation of the `orderBy` and `sortOrder` parameters in `GET /api/v1/clients`. The flaw affects **Fineract 1.14.0 and earlier affected releases**, while **1.15.0** is listed as unaffected. An attacker must have permission to view clients to trigger the issue. Successful exploitation can enable **blind boolean-based SQL injection** for arbitrary data extraction, and in deployments using **MySQL or MariaDB**, it can also expose local files via the database `LOAD_FILE()` function. Apache Fineract, a platform used for digital financial services, advised users to upgrade to a fixed release to mitigate the risk of database compromise and local file disclosure.
