SCA: security update for sqladmin (GHSA-ccg5-9c8w-xh6v)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447852
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- SQLAdmin is a flexible Admin interface for SQLAlchemy models. Prior to 0.27.1, ModelView.sort_query in
sqladmin/models.py accepts the attacker-controlled sortBy list-view query parameter without enforcing the
configured column_sortable_list server-side allow-list in self._sort_fields. The value is resolved with
getattr and passed to relationship joins and order_by, allowing requests to sort by columns hidden from
column_list and by related-model columns through dotted paths. The resulting row order forms an
information-exposure oracle for unexposed values, and reversing ascending and descending order confirms
their relative ordering. Pairing sortBy with searchable or filterable columns and pagination can narrow
the oracle toward specific values, but exact recovery depends on the application's available fields and
data. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.1. (CVE-2026-54529)
Solution
Update the sqladmin library and its related packages to version 0.27.1 or later.See Also
