Summary

CVE-2026-38528 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 10.2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-38528 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting Krayin CRM version 2.2.x. The flaw exists in the rotten_lead parameter within the /Lead/LeadDataGrid.php endpoint, where unsanitized user input can be directly incorporated into SQL queries. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant confidentiality impact.

Low-privileged authenticated users (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely without user interaction. By injecting malicious SQL payloads into the rotten_lead parameter, attackers can achieve high-level unauthorized access to sensitive data (C:H), such as extracting database contents, alongside limited integrity impacts like minor data manipulation (I:L), but without affecting availability (A:N).

Advisories and mitigation guidance are referenced in the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/TREXNEGRO/Security-Advisories/tree/main/CVE-2026-38528 and the Krayin Laravel CRM repository at https://github.com/krayin/laravel-crm, published on 2026-04-14.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1213.006 Databases Collection
Adversaries may leverage databases to mine valuable information.
Why these techniques?

SQL injection in a web app endpoint directly enables T1190 (Exploit Public-Facing Application) for remote exploitation; high confidentiality impact via DB contents extraction directly facilitates T1213.006 (Data from Information Repositories: Databases).
