CVE-2026-42550 PUBLISHED

Flight: SQL Injection via unvalidated identifiers in SimplePdo::insert / update / delete

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 28.04.2026 Published: 13.05.2026 Updated: 13.05.2026

Flight is an extensible micro-framework for PHP. Prior to 3.18.1, SimplePdo::insert(), SimplePdo::update(), and SimplePdo::delete() build SQL statements by concatenating the $table argument and the keys of the $data array directly into the query, with no identifier quoting and no validation. When an application forwards user-controlled data shapes to these helpers — a common and documented pattern, e.g. $db->insert('users', $request->data->getData()) — an attacker can inject arbitrary SQL by crafting malicious array keys. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.18.1.
