Overview

CVE-2026-71288 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 5, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Koha's guided report builder (reports/guided_reports.pl) reads the CGI parameter and, for each value, a dynamically-named parameter, and concatenates both directly into an SQL ORDER BY clause with no allowlist or validation. Since ORDER BY columns cannot be bound via prepared-statement placeholders, this requires an explicit allowlist, which does not exist.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
