CVE-2026-34220 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in @mikro-orm/core. A fix is available for @mikro-orm/core — see the affected versions and patch details below.
MikroORM is vulnerable to SQL Injection via specially crafted object
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

@mikro-orm/corenpmDescription
Summary
MikroORM versions <= 6.6.9 and <= 7.0.5 are vulnerable to SQL injection when specially crafted objects are interpreted as raw SQL query fragments.
Impact
If user-controlled input is passed directly to MikroORM query construction APIs, an attacker may inject raw SQL fragments. This can lead to SQL injection depending on the database and query being executed.
Affected usage
The issue occurs when untrusted objects are passed to ORM write APIs such as:
wrap(entity).assign(userInput)followed byem.flush()em.nativeUpdate()em.nativeInsert()em.create()followed byem.flush()
Applications that validate input types or enforce strict schema validation before passing data to MikroORM are not affected.
Fix
The vulnerability was caused by duck-typed detection of internal ORM marker properties.
The fix replaces these checks with symbol-based markers that cannot be reproduced by user input.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @mikro-orm/core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @mikro-orm/core to 6.6.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-34220 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.
