CVE-2026-85388

Description

Worklenz through 3.0.0 fails to properly validate the sort-field query parameter in pagination helper functions, allowing authenticated users to inject arbitrary PostgreSQL expressions into ORDER BY clauses. Attackers can use time-based and boolean-based blind SQL injection techniques to extract sensitive database content including password hashes from other tenants. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-25947.
