CVE-2026-113605 PUBLISHED

Stirling-PDF 2.13.2 through 3.2.0 H2 SQL Denylist Bypass via import-database

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 20.10.2026 Published: 20.10.2026 Updated: 20.10.2026

Stirling-PDF from 2.13.2 through 3.2.0 contains an incomplete denylist in DatabaseService.validateSqlContent() that allows administrators to bypass H2 import restrictions using CREATE OR REPLACE ALIAS. Authenticated administrators can upload a crafted SQL backup to the import-database endpoint, where RUNSCRIPT defines H2 Java function aliases and restores Java-method execution.
