CVE-2026-12206
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 identified in Grit42 Grit up to 0.11.0. This issue affects the function Grit::Assays::DataTableEntity of the file modules/assays/backend/app/models/grit/assays/data_table_entity.rb. The manipulation leads to sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might 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 v0.11.0 in the Grit::Assays::DataTableEntity function within modules/assays/backend/app/models/grit/assays/data_table_entity.rb. User-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being used in database queries, allowing remote attackers to manipulate SQL queries.

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 Grit42 Grit versionLocate the Grit42 Grit gem version in your project's dependency lock file (Gemfile.lock or similar), or run 'gem list grit42' or check package.json for the version fieldAffected if Installed version is v0.11.0 or earlier (any version up to and including v0.11.0)
-
Locate vulnerable fileSearch for the file at modules/assays/backend/app/models/grit/assays/data_table_entity.rb in your codebaseAffected if The file exists and is present in your installation
-
Verify DataTableEntity is in useSearch your codebase for references to Grit::Assays::DataTableEntity - look for class definitions, method calls, or includes that reference this moduleAffected if The DataTableEntity class or module is loaded or invoked by your application
-
Check input sanitization in vulnerable functionExamine the data_table_entity.rb file for user-supplied parameters being passed directly to raw SQL execution methods (such as 'where', 'execute', 'find_by_sql', or string interpolation in SQL queries) without parameterized binding or input sanitizationAffected if User-controllable parameters flow directly into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized binding
Your environment is affected if Grit42 Grit v0.11.0 or earlier is installed AND the DataTableEntity function is in use AND unsanitized user input reaches the vulnerable SQL construction in data_table_entity.rb

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 (prepared statements) to sanitize all user inputs before using them in SQL queries. Apply input validation and use least-privilege database accounts as defense-in-depth measures. Consider deploying a WAF as a temporary compensating control.
