CVE-2026-3057
Published: 24 February 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-3057 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in A54552239 Pearprojectapi. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 40.7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-6 (Least Privilege).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-3057 is a SQL injection vulnerability affecting pearProjectApi versions up to 2.8.10. The flaw resides in the dateTotalForProject function within the file application/common/Model/Task.php, part of the Backend Interface component. By manipulating the projectCode argument, an attacker can inject malicious SQL payloads, as classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2026-02-24.
The attack is remotely exploitable over the network with low complexity and requires low privileges, such as an authenticated user account. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling data exfiltration, modification of database records, or minor denial-of-service effects depending on the injected payload.
Advisories from VulDB and the associated GitHub disclosure indicate no vendor response or patch availability despite early notification. The exploit has been publicly released, increasing the risk of active attacks against unpatched instances.
In notable context, the public exploit availability heightens the urgency for users of pearProjectApi to review and harden their Backend Interface deployments, as no remediation from the vendor has been reported.

Why these techniques?
SQL injection in network-accessible backend/API component directly enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application). Successful exploitation permits arbitrary database queries, directly facilitating T1213.006 (Data from Information Repositories: Databases) for exfiltration or modification of records.

Directly requires validation and sanitization of untrusted inputs such as the projectCode parameter before it is used in SQL statements, blocking the injection vector in Task.php.
Limits the database privileges granted to the low-privilege accounts that can reach the Backend Interface, reducing the impact of any successful SQL injection.
Enables monitoring of database query patterns and anomalies that would indicate exploitation attempts against the dateTotalForProject function.
