CVE-2026-46624
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 · uneditedTwenty is an open source CRM. From 1.7.7 through 1.16.7, a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Twenty CRM via a chained SQL Injection and PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM attack. If Postgres user is a super user then any authenticated user can execute arbitrary OS commands on the database server by injecting SQL through the unsanitized timeZone parameter in the REST API groupBy endpoint. The timeZone field within the group_by query parameter is directly interpolated into a raw SQL expression using JavaScript template literals without any parameterization, validation, or escaping. This affects engine/api/graphql/graphql-query-runner/group-by/resolvers/utils/get-group-by-expression.util.ts.
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 confidenceA critical SQL injection vulnerability in Twenty CRM allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via the groupBy endpoint. The timeZone parameter in the group_by query is directly interpolated into raw SQL using JavaScript template literals without sanitization, combined with a PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM attack when the database user has superuser privileges.

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.
-
Check Twenty CRM installed versionRun the command: docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | xargs -I {} docker exec {} cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep '"version"' or check your deployment manifests/config files for the installed version tagAffected if Version is >= 1.7.7 and < 1.16.7
-
Verify REST API is enabledConfirm Twenty CRM REST API endpoints are accessible in your environment; check server configuration for API route availabilityAffected if REST API is exposed and accessible to authenticated users
-
Check PostgreSQL database user privilegesConnect to the Twenty CRM database as the application database user and run: SELECT rolname, rolsuper FROM pg_roles WHERE rolname = CURRENT_USER; or check your database connection configuration for the user privilegesAffected if The database user has superuser privileges (rolsuper = true)
-
Confirm groupBy endpoint existsReview Twenty CRM source code in server/src/workspace/workspace-query-builder folder for the groupBy function that uses the timeZone parameter, or test access to /api/groupBy endpoints if API documentation is availableAffected if The groupBy endpoint functionality is present in the installation
You are affected if Twenty CRM version is between 1.7.7 and 1.16.7, the REST API is accessible to authenticated users, and your PostgreSQL database user has superuser privileges, allowing SQL injection via the timeZone parameter to escalate to OS command execution.

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 · scoped1.16.7
Immediately upgrade to a version beyond 1.16.7, or apply input validation and parameterized queries to replace template literal SQL interpolation in get-group-by-expression.util.ts. Additionally, ensure the PostgreSQL user for Twenty CRM is not a superuser.
1.16.7 or later
- Backup your Twenty CRM database and application data before proceeding
- Check your current Twenty version (typically in package.json or system settings)
- Upgrade Twenty CRM to version 1.16.7 or later using your deployment method (e.g., Docker, npm, or relevant package manager)
- After upgrade, verify the timeZone parameter in groupBy endpoint is now properly parameterized/validated
- Restart all application services to ensure the patched code is loaded
- Verify the fix by testing the groupBy endpoint with various timeZone inputs - the raw SQL should no longer accept direct template literal interpolation
