What is CVE-2026-96272?

ClipBucket versions prior to 5.5.3-#182 are susceptible to a blind SQL injection flaw within the photo search endpoint. This vulnerability arises when the query parameter is fed directly into SQL WHERE and ORDER BY clauses without proper sanitization. Attackers, even if unauthenticated, can utilize time-based blind SQL injection techniques to harvest sensitive data, including user credentials, email addresses, and administrator password hashes, potentially leading to unauthorized account access.

Affected Version(s)

clipbucket-v5 0 < 5.5.3-#182

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
