Description
Impact
The Backend Filter widget (Backend\Widgets\Filter) is vulnerable to SQL injection through the numberrange scope type when the scope is configured with a conditions key. An authenticated backend user with access to a list view containing a vulnerable filter scope can inject arbitrary SQL via the filter's AJAX handler, potentially gaining read access to the full database contents.
To exploit this, an attacker must have a valid backend account with access to a list view where a third-party plugin has registered a numberrange filter scope using the conditions configuration key. No built-in Winter CMS backend views use this scope type and configuration combination, so a vanilla installation without plugins is not exploitable.
Patches
This issue has been fixed in Winter CMS v1.2.13.
Workarounds
If users cannot upgrade, they may apply commit https://github.com/wintercms/winter/commit/50713de95adf5298536d93f4d999652525d36d43 to your Winter CMS installation manually to resolve this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for winter/wn-backend-module, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update winter/wn-backend-module to 1.2.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32593 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
