CVE-2026-12188
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was detected in Grit42 Grit up to 0.11.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file modules/core/backend/app/controllers/concerns/grit/core/grit_entity_controller.rb of the component GritEntityController. Performing a manipulation results in sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Grit42 Grit up to version 0.11.0 within the GritEntityController component. The vulnerability exists in file-related functionality and can be exploited remotely via manipulated input to the affected controller.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Grit42 Grit is installedCheck your application's dependencies (e.g., gemfile for Ruby, package.json for Node.js, composer.json for PHP, or pip list for Python) for the Grit42 Grit packageAffected if The Grit42 Grit package is present in your dependencies
-
Check the installed Grit42 Grit versionRun the appropriate package manager command to list the installed version (e.g., gem list grit42, npm list grit42, composer show grit42, or pip show grit42)Affected if The installed version is 0.11.0 or lower (any version from 0.x up to and including 0.11.0)
-
Verify the GritEntityController component existsSearch your codebase for files named GritEntityController or containing 'GritEntityController' in the codeAffected if The GritEntityController component is present in your application code
-
Check if GritEntityController handles user inputReview the GritEntityController code to identify if it processes request parameters, query strings, or other user-supplied data that could influence SQL queriesAffected if The controller accepts and processes user input without using parameterized queries or ActiveRecord query methods
Your environment is affected if Grit42 Grit version 0.11.0 or lower is installed and the GritEntityController component processes user input that flows into SQL queries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries or use an ORM with proper query building to prevent SQL injection. Conduct a comprehensive code review of the GritEntityController and related models to identify and remediate all SQL injection points.
