Summary
georgringer/news has SQL Injection in extension "News system" (news)
The extension fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in a database query. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL through a URL parameter on pages using the "Date Menu of news articles" plugin. Exploitation requires the "Date Menu of news articles" plugin to be in use and the TypoScript/Plugin setting disableOverrideDemand not to be enabled.
Impact
Untrusted input alters a database query, allowing the attacker to read or modify data the query was not intended to access. Typical impact: data disclosure or modification.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

It is fixed in 12.3.2, 13.0.2, 14.0.3, 10.0.4, 11.4.4. Untrusted input alters a database query, allowing the attacker to read or modify data the query was not intended to access.
- Which versions of georgringer/news are affected by CVE-2026-8726? georgringer/news (composer) versions >= 12.0.0, < 12.3.2 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-8726? Yes. CVE-2026-8726 is fixed in 12.3.2, 13.0.2, 14.0.3, 10.0.4, 11.4.4. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-8726 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-8726 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-8726 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
