A user-controlled query string parameter is interpolated directly into a raw SQL expression without parameterization or validation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL against the database. This affects all supported database backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite).\n\nThe Admin API is also affected, though exploitation there requires authentication.\n\n## Affected versions\n\n- `@vendure/core` < 2.3.4\n- `@vendure/core` >= 3.0.0, < 3.5.7\n- `@vendure/core` >= 3.6.0, < 3.6.2\n\nNote: versions 2.3.4 and above in the 2.x line are patched. There were no 2.4.x or 2.x releases between 2.3.x and 3.0.0.\n\n## Patched versions\n\n- `@vendure/core` 2.3.4\n- `@vendure/core` 3.5.7\n- `@vendure/core` 3.6.2\n\n## Details\n\nIn `ProductService.findOneBySlug`, the request context's `languageCode` value is interpolated into a SQL `CASE` expression via a JavaScript template literal:\n\n```ts\n.addSelect(\n    `CASE translation.languageCode WHEN '${ctx.languageCode}' THEN 2 WHEN '${ctx.channel.defaultLanguageCode}' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END`,\n    'sort_order',\n)\n```\n\nTypeORM has no opportunity to parameterize this value because it is embedded directly into the SQL string before being passed to the query builder.\n\nThe `languageCode` value can originate from the HTTP query string and is set on the request context for every incoming API request. The value is cast to the `LanguageCode` TypeScript type at compile time, but no runtime validation is performed -- the raw query string value is used as-is.\n\n## Attack vector\n\nAn unauthenticated attacker can append a crafted `languageCode` query parameter to any Shop API request to inject arbitrary SQL into the query. No user interaction is required. The vulnerable endpoint is exposed on every default Vendure installation.\n\n## Mitigation\n\n**Upgrade to a patched version immediately.**\n\nIf you cannot upgrade right away, apply the following hotfix to `RequestContextService.getLanguageCode` to validate the `languageCode` input at the boundary. This blocks injection payloads before they can reach any query:\n\n```ts\nprivate getLanguageCode(req: Request, channel: Channel): LanguageCode | undefined {\n    const queryLanguageCode = req.query?.languageCode as string | undefined;\n    const isValidFormat = queryLanguageCode && /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/.test(queryLanguageCode);\n    return (\n        (isValidFormat ? (queryLanguageCode as LanguageCode) : undefined) ??\n        channel.defaultLanguageCode ??\n        this.configService.defaultLanguageCode\n    );\n}\n```\n\nThis replaces the existing `getLanguageCode` method in `packages/core/src/service/helpers/request-context/request-context.service.ts`. Invalid values are silently dropped and the channel's default language is used instead.\n\nThe patched versions additionally convert the vulnerable SQL interpolation to a parameterized query as defense in depth.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-14T22:38:01+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-05-05T16:05:31.51036+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@vendure/core","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"3.0.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"3.5.7"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@vendure/core","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"3.6.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"3.6.2"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"@vendure/core","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"1.7.4"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"2.3.4"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"CRITICAL"}],"references":["https://github.com/vendurehq/vendure/security/advisories/GHSA-9pp3-53p2-ww9v","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-40887","https://github.com/vendurehq/vendure"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9pp3-53p2-ww9v","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-9pp3-53p2-ww9v","identifiers":["GHSA-9pp3-53p2-ww9v","CVE-2026-40887"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
