CVE-2026-40546
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 · uneditedSOPlanning is vulnerable to SQL Injection across multiple endpoints and parameters. Attacker with low privileges can inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially gaining full control over the database. This issue affects SOPlanning version 1.55 and below.
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 confidenceSOPlanning versions 1.55 and below contain SQL Injection vulnerabilities in multiple endpoints and parameters. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can inject arbitrary SQL commands through these vulnerable parameters, potentially achieving full database compromise and unauthorized data access.

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 installed SOPlanning versionLocate the version file or about page - commonly found in the application footer, admin panel, or a version.php file in the installation directory. Check the main index.php or include files for a version variable.Affected if The installed version is 1.55 or lower.
-
Confirm authentication is enabledVerify that the SOPlanning application has user authentication enabled and low-privilege user accounts exist. Check the users table or user management section of the application.Affected if Low-privilege authenticated users can be created or already exist in the system.
-
Identify user-input endpointsReview application endpoints that accept user input through GET or POST parameters, particularly search fields, filters, forms, and API endpoints.Affected if The application uses direct parameter insertion in SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization.
-
Audit SQL query handlingExamine the source code for database query functions - look for queries that concatenate or embed user-supplied input directly into SQL strings without using parameterized queries or input validation.Affected if User-controlled parameters are passed directly into SQL queries without sanitization or prepared statements.
Your environment is affected if SOPlanning version 1.55 or lower is installed and any endpoint accepts user input that flows directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or prepared statements.

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 dataUpgrade SOPlanning to a version beyond 1.55 that addresses these SQL injection vulnerabilities. As an interim measure, implement input validation and restrict database permissions for low-privilege accounts.
