CVE-2026-4112 is an SQL injection vulnerability in SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 series appliances. The flaw is described as improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, allowing a remote authenticated attacker with read-only administrator privileges to inject SQL statements. Successful exploitation enables privilege escalation from a read-only administrative role to the primary administrator role on the affected appliance.

Repository contains a README and a single Python PoC, sma_admin_hash_poc.py. The project is a real exploit, not merely documentation or detection logic. Its purpose is to exploit a post-authentication privilege-escalation chain against SonicWall SMA 8200v by abusing a cross-parameter blind SQL injection in the management console endpoint /activeUsers.action on port 8443. The exploit authenticates to the web console using /console.action and /j_security_check, then uses crafted realmFilter and communityFilter values to trigger time-based SQL conditions. It leverages MariaDB LOAD_FILE() to read /usr/local/app/mgmt-server/datastore/active/sysconf/avconfig.xml and extracts the administrator SHA-512 crypt hash character-by-character using timing thresholds and binary search. The script then formats the recovered hash for offline cracking and optionally runs hashcat, with the stated goal of recovering the shared admin/root credential. Structurally, the Python file includes constants for target URLs and timing, helper routines for SQL-safe literal construction, authentication/session handling, blind extraction logic, output formatting, and optional cracking orchestration. Overall, this is an operational authenticated web/network exploit for credential extraction leading to likely root compromise.
