CVE-2026-39327
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 · uneditedChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.1.0, an SQL injection vulnerability was found in the endpoint /MemberRoleChange.php in ChurchCRM 7.0.5. Authenticated users with the role Manage Groups & Roles (ManageGroups) can inject arbitrary SQL statements through the NewRole parameter and thus extract and modify information from the database. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.0.
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 · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in ChurchCRM's /MemberRoleChange.php endpoint allows authenticated users with the Manage Groups & Roles (ManageGroups) permission to inject arbitrary SQL through the NewRole parameter, enabling data extraction or modification from the database.

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 ChurchCRM installation and versionLocate the ChurchCRM web application files and check the version identifier (typically in a VERSION file, composer.json, or system info page). Compare the installed version number to the affected range: versions before 7.1.0.Affected if The installed ChurchCRM version is lower than 7.1.0
-
Locate MemberRoleChange.php endpointFind the file /MemberRoleChange.php within the ChurchCRM web directory. This is the vulnerable endpoint that handles member role changes.Affected if The file MemberRoleChange.php exists and is accessible within the web application
-
Verify NewRole parameter handlingExamine the MemberRoleChange.php source code to observe how the NewRole parameter is processed. Look for direct use of this parameter in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.Affected if The NewRole parameter is used directly in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization
-
Confirm ManageGroups permission existsCheck the ChurchCRM user permissions system to determine if the ManageGroups permission (Manage Groups & Roles) is assigned to any user role or individual user account.Affected if There are users or roles granted the ManageGroups permission, enabling them to access the vulnerable endpoint
You are affected if ChurchCRM version is below 7.1.0, the MemberRoleChange.php endpoint exists, and users with ManageGroups permission can access it.

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.
dbcve · scoped7.1.0
Upgrade ChurchCRM to version 7.1.0 or later, which contains the fix for proper input sanitization on the NewRole parameter.
7.1.0
- 1. Backup the current ChurchCRM database and files before proceeding with the upgrade
- 2. Download ChurchCRM version 7.1.0 or later from the official repository (github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM)
- 3. Upgrade the existing ChurchCRM installation to version 7.1.0 following the standard upgrade procedure
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by logging in and confirming the /MemberRoleChange.php endpoint functions correctly with the NewRole parameter
