CVE search metadata
CVE search record: CVE-2026-85540. Severity: high. CVSS: 8.8. KEV: no. Product: DreamMaker. Brief: SQL Injection Vulnerability in DreamMaker. Brief link: https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-09-dreammaker-sqli/
Interinfo's DreamMaker application contains a SQL injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-85540. This flaw allows an authenticated remote attacker to supply malicious input to the application, which is then processed by the underlying database without sufficient sanitization. By injecting arbitrary SQL commands, an attacker can bypass standard application logic to read, modify, or delete sensitive information stored within the database. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating a high level of impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Given the nature of SQL injection, defenders should focus on monitoring for unusual database query patterns and unauthorized administrative operations initiated through the web application.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability permits authenticated users to compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the application database. Potential outcomes include the theft of sensitive business or user data, unauthorized modification of records, and the permanent deletion of database contents, leading to significant operational disruption and data loss.
Recommendation
- Coordinate with the vendor, Interinfo, to obtain the security patch or update addressing CVE-2026-85540.
- Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for all database interactions within the DreamMaker environment.
- Review web application logs for suspicious HTTP requests containing common SQL syntax characters (e.g., UNION, SELECT, OR, --) originating from authenticated sessions.
- Apply the principle of least privilege to the database service account used by DreamMaker to minimize the impact of potential query injection.
