CVE-2026-42323: Piwigo SQL injection in batch manager filter

CVE-2026-42323 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-09-25

Piwigo is a photo gallery application used to organize and display image collections online. Prior to version 16.4.0, an authenticated administrator can inject SQL code through the batch manager's filter parameters, potentially accessing, modifying, or deleting photos and metadata stored in the application's database. This allows a malicious admin to extract sensitive data or disrupt the gallery's operation.

Technical details

The admin/batch_manager.php script accepts filter parameters (width, height, ratio, filesize) from URL GET requests without numeric validation and concatenates them directly into SQL queries, unlike the validated POST filter path. An authenticated administrator can craft malicious filter values to execute time-based SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability was fixed in version 16.4.0 by adding input validation for dimension and filesize parameters.
