HIGHMautic is Vulnerable to SQL Injection through Contact Activity API Sorting
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
This advisory addresses a SQL Injection vulnerability in the API endpoint used for retrieving contact activities. A vulnerability exists in the query construction for the Contact Activity timeline where the parameter responsible for determining the sort direction was not strictly validated against an allowlist, potentially allowing authenticated users to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the API.
Mitigation
Please update to 5.2.10, 6.0.8, 7.0.1 or later.
Workarounds
None.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for mautic/core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update mautic/core to 5.2.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-r5j5-q42h-fc93 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
