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 · unedited
DHIS2 is a flexible information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. A SQL injection vulnerability was identified in the SqlView API endpoint of the DHIS2 application in the `filter` parameter used by the `/api/sqlViews/{viewId}/data.json` endpoint. An authenticated user with access to a SqlView can inject arbitrary SQL queries inside the `filter` parameter by abusing an expression executed by PostgreSQL and its output is reflected inside the application error message. This behavior enables attackers to extract arbitrary database content using error-based SQL injection. Affected versions include: 2.37, 2.38, 2.39, 2.40.x before 2.40.11.1/2.40.12, 2.41.x before 2.41.8.2, 2.42.x before 2.42.5.1, 2.43.0 before 2.43.0.1, 2.44 development branch before PR #24162 Patched versions include: 2.37-EOS (2026-06-09), 2.38-EOS (2026-06-09), 2.39-EOS (2026-06-09), 2.40.11.1, 2.40.12, 2.41.8.2, 2.42.5.1, 2.43.0.1, 2.44 development branch after PR #24162

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 · low confidence
Developing — this CVE was published recently and its authoritative NVD entry is still being established, so we're holding a technical summary until the source data settles rather than publish something unreliable. Re-checking after 2026-08-04.

CVSS breakdown How the score is builtThe industry scoring standard. It rates how the flaw is reached, what it takes to exploit, and what an attacker gains — the score is derived from those, not the other way round.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to the patched version for your release line: 2.37-EOS, 2.38-EOS, 2.39-EOS, 2.40.11.1/2.40.12, 2.41.8.2, 2.42.5.1, or 2.43.0.1 depending on current version

  1. 1. Identify the current DHIS2 version by checking the application or configuration files
  2. 2. Determine the appropriate upgrade path based on the current version (2.37, 2.38, 2.39, 2.40.x, 2.41.x, 2.42.x, or 2.43.0)
  3. 3. Back up the database and configuration files before proceeding with the upgrade
  4. 4. For version 2.37, 2.38, or 2.39: upgrade to the respective EOS (End of Service) patch release dated 2026-06-09
  5. 5. For version 2.40.x before 2.40.11.1/2.40.12: upgrade to 2.40.11.1 or 2.40.12
  6. 6. For version 2.41.x before 2.41.8.2: upgrade to 2.41.8.2
  7. 7. For version 2.42.x before 2.42.5.1: upgrade to 2.42.5.1
  8. 8. For version 2.43.0 before 2.43.0.1: upgrade to 2.43.0.1
Caveat Check release notes for your specific version upgrade; major version jumps may include breaking changes in features or database schema
