Apache · Apache Fineract · CVE-2026-56287
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apache Fineract versions prior to 1.14.1
**Description**
An authenticated user with permissions to view clients can exploit a boolean-based SQL Injection in the Client Search API endpoint '/api/v1/clients'. The issue occurs because the `orderBy` and `sortOrder` parameters are concatenated into a SQL query without sufficient validation. This allows for blind boolean-based data extraction and, specifically on MySQL or MariaDB, the disclosure of arbitrary files readable by the database process through the `LOAD FILE()` function.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to a version containing the fix.
As a temporary mitigation, restrict the use of the `orderBy` and `sortOrder` parameters in the '/api/v1/clients' endpoint.
