CVE-2026-48448 is an unauthenticated, remotely exploitable SQL injection vulnerability affecting Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC). The root cause lies in the improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89). Specifically, user-supplied input—likely through exposed API endpoints (such as SOAP APIs like `nlWebService` and xtkQueryDef) or web-based administration consoles—is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper parameterization or escaping. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL payloads that break out of the intended query context and manipulate database operations.
The vulnerability can be triggered over the network with low attack complexity, requiring no privileges and no user interaction. Because the scope is changed, the injected SQL can interact with database components outside the web application’s boundary, enabling the attacker to read sensitive memory contents and gain unauthorized file system read access. This is particularly dangerous as it can be exploited silently and automatically, without human intervention. Successful exploitation compromises confidentiality (high impact) but does not affect integrity or availability. The flaw exists in versions up to and including 7.4.3 build 9397, and is patched in version 7.4.3 build 9398. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.6 (High), with the vector string: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N. Adobe has released security updates, and while no active exploits have been reported in the wild, organizations are strongly advised to apply patches immediately.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Adobe Campaign Classic
Version: 0–7.4.3 build 9397
Vulnerability: SQL Injection (CWE-89)
Severity: High (CVSS 8.6)
date: 2026-07-29
Prediction: 2026-07-30 (patch released)
Analytics under What Undercode Say:
- Check version: `cat /etc/adobe-campaign/version` or inspect build number in admin console.
- Verify patch level: ensure build >= 7.4.3.9398.
- Monitor logs for anomalous SQL errors:
grep -i "sql" /var/log/adobe-campaign/.log. - Detect potential exploitation via WAF: look for payloads like `’ OR ‘1’=’1` or
UNION SELECT. - Use SAST to flag dynamic SQL construction:
grep -r "query.+" /path/to/source. - Scan for exposed SOAP endpoints:
nmap -p 8080 --script http-enum <target>. - Check for file read attempts:
grep -i "xp_cmdshell\|LOAD_FILE" /var/log/mssql/.log.
Exploit:
- Attack vector: Network (remote), unauthenticated.
- Crafted payloads can be injected via `xtkQueryDef` or `nlWebService` SOAP parameters.
- Example injection: `’ UNION SELECT @@version, user, db_name() –` to fingerprint database.
- File read on MSSQL:
' UNION SELECT FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\windows\win.ini', SINGLE_BLOB) --. - File read on MySQL:
' UNION SELECT LOAD_FILE('/etc/passwd') --. - No user interaction required; automated scanning tools can exploit en masse.
- Public PoC is not yet confirmed, but exploitability is high due to low complexity.
Protection:
- Immediately upgrade to Adobe Campaign Classic version 7.4.3 build 9398 or later.
- Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules.
- Enforce parameterized queries and prepared statements in all database interactions.
- Apply least privilege database accounts to limit lateral movement.
- Restrict network access to Campaign Classic admin interfaces and SOAP APIs.
- Conduct thorough code reviews to ensure proper input validation and escaping.
- Monitor database logs for suspicious query patterns and file read attempts.
Impact:
- Disclosure of sensitive memory contents, including application data and credentials.
- Unauthorized file system read access, exposing configuration files, encryption keys, and user data.
- Potential pivot to database-level lateral movement and further compromise of the infrastructure.
- High confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact.
- Scope changed, meaning resources beyond the vulnerable component can be affected.
- Automated exploitation without user interaction increases the risk of mass scanning and compromise.
