Apache Fineract <=1.14.0 Boolean SQLi in Client Search API
CVE-2026-56287 Published on July 15, 2026
Apache Fineract: Boolean SQL Injection in Client Search API (orderBy parameter) leading to Local File Disclosure
A boolean-based SQL Injection vulnerability exists in Apache Fineract's Client Search API (GET /api/v1/clients) in versions up to and including 1.14.0. The orderBy and sortOrder request parameters are concatenated into a SQL query without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user with permission to view clients to inject arbitrary SQL via a crafted orderBy value. This can be leveraged to perform blind boolean-based data extraction and, on MySQL/MariaDB, to disclose arbitrary files readable by the database process via the LOAD_FILE() function. Users are recommended to upgrade to a version containing the fix
