CVE-2026-108087: Apache Cocoon SQL injection in SQL processor

CVE-2026-108087 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-20

Apache Cocoon is a web application framework that processes XML and dynamic content. A SQL injection vulnerability in its SQL processor allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by crafting malicious input. Since Cocoon is retired and no longer maintained, no fix will be released; users must migrate to an alternative or restrict access to trusted users only.

Technologies: Apache Cocoon. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

The SQL processor and sql:/esql: logicsheets in Apache Cocoon fail to properly sanitize user input before constructing SQL queries, allowing SQL injection attacks. An attacker with network access can inject arbitrary SQL through these components. Since the project is retired, no patch exists.
