Summary

CVE-2026-39327 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Churchcrm Churchcrm. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-39327 is an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting ChurchCRM, an open-source church management system. The issue resides in the /MemberRoleChange.php endpoint in versions prior to 7.1.0, such as 7.0.5, where the NewRole parameter fails to properly sanitize input. It has 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), indicating high severity due to its potential for remote exploitation with low complexity and privileges.

Authenticated users with the Manage Groups & Roles (ManageGroups) permission can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary SQL statements through the NewRole parameter. Successful exploitation allows attackers to extract sensitive data from the database or modify records, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of church management information.

The ChurchCRM security advisory at https://github.com/ChurchCRM/CRM/security/advisories/GHSA-66fc-v5xj-x859 confirms the vulnerability and states that it is fixed in version 7.1.0. Security practitioners should upgrade to 7.1.0 or later and review access to the ManageGroups role to mitigate risks.

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.

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.

finds

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