Worklenz: SQL injection in reporting members endpoints
Summary
Worklenz before 3.3.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the reporting members endpoints. An authenticated attacker can inject SQL through the projects and status parameters and use time-based blind techniques to read arbitrary database contents, including user password hashes, across tenants.
Affected
- Worklenz versions before 3.3.0
Fixed in
- Upgrade to Worklenz 3.3.0 or later
Workaround
- Unknown. No vendor workaround was found.
Exploitation
- No public exploit or KEV listing was found at the time of research. The record is very new and the status may change.
Our recommendation
- Upgrade to Worklenz 3.3.0 or later as a priority, especially for self-hosted instances reachable from the internet, instances with open sign-up, or instances with client or guest logins.
- Review accounts and remove unneeded users, and reset passwords and sessions if exposure is suspected.
- Restrict access to the instance to known networks or a VPN where possible.
- Review logs for unusual requests to the reporting API endpoints.
- Confirm with the vendor release notes whether 3.3.0 also fixes CVE-2026-85388.

Original description (NVD)
Worklenz before 3.3.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the reporting members endpoints that allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary database contents by injecting SQL through the projects and status parameters. Attackers can send crafted values to POST /api/v1/reporting/members/all or GET /api/v1/reporting/members/export, which are interpolated unparameterized into IN clauses in getTeamMemberInsightData, and use time-based blind techniques to extract data across tenants, including user password hashes.
