CVE-2026-29099 is a SQL injection vulnerability in SuiteCRM, an open-source enterprise Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. The issue resides in the `retrieve()` function within `include/OutboundEmail/OutboundEmail.php`, which fails to properly neutralize the user-controlled `$id` parameter prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3. Although the function assumes that calling code will sanitize inputs, two paths reachable via the `EmailUIAjax` action in the `Email()` module do not perform this sanitization, enabling injection. This affects the latest major versions 7.15 and 8.9 and is classified under CWE-89 with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

An authenticated user with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By manipulating the `$id` parameter, the attacker can inject arbitrary SQL through the `retrieve()` function. Due to the lack of restrictions on accessible tables, exploitation allows retrieval of sensitive database information, including user details and password hashes, potentially enabling further compromise such as privilege escalation or data exfiltration.

Patches addressing this vulnerability are available in SuiteCRM versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3. Security practitioners should upgrade to these fixed releases immediately. Additional details are provided in the SuiteCRM 7.15.x release documentation at https://docs.suitecrm.com/admin/releases/7.15.x and the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/SuiteCRM/SuiteCRM/security/advisories/GHSA-38rf-h37x-7767.

Vulnerability Data

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3, the `retrieve()` function in `include/OutboundEmail/OutboundEmail.php` fails to properly neutralize the user controlled `$id` parameter. It is assumed that the function calling `retrieve()` will…

more

appropriately quote and sanitize the user input. However, two locations have been identified that can be reached through the `EmailUIAjax` action on the `Email()` module where this is not the case. As such, it is possible for an authenticated user to perform SQL injection through the `retrieve()` function. This affects the latest major versions 7.15 and 8.9. As there do not appear to be restrictions on which tables can be called, it would be possible for an attacker to retrieve arbitrary information from the database, including user information and password hashes. Versions 7.15.1 and 8.9.3 patch the issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
