Description
Summary
An SQL injection vulnerability exists in Mautic's API contact filtering mechanism. Due to insufficient recursive sanitization of nested query parameters, an authenticated API user can bypass input filtering and inject arbitrary SQL commands.
Impact
An authenticated user with API access can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the underlying database. This allows unauthorized retrieval of sensitive database contents—including user credentials, system configurations, and personal identifiable information (PII) of contacts—bypassing standard data access permissions.
Patched Versions
This security issue has been fixed in the following releases:
- 7.1.2
- 6.0.9
- 5.2.11
- 4.4.20 ELTS
We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest version corresponding to your release branch.
Workarounds
There are no official workarounds. To mitigate this issue without upgrading, you may temporarily disable API access or restrict API permissions to highly trusted accounts.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mautic/core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
No patched version of mautic/core has shipped for GHSA-fcmw-wx57-9p75 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
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.
