Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2023-28438 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8/10 on the CVSS scale. Pimcore is an open source data and experience management platform. Prior to version 10.5.19, since a user with 'report' permission can already write arbitrary SQL queries and given the fact that this endpoint is using the GET method (no CSRF protection), an attacker can inject an arbitrary query by manipulating a user to click on a link. EPSS estimates a 0.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
