CVE-2026-112238: SQL Injection in extension "File manager" (ameos_filemanager)
The file search of the extension builds its database conditions by wrapping the search term in quotes itself. Only the wildcard characters of the LIKE operator are escaped, quote characters are not. A crafted search term can therefore leave the intended string value and change the database query. This allows an attacker to read data from the database. The issue affects every searched field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is exposed to this issue?
Any Ameos File manager deployment where an attacker can submit search terms to the file-search function is exposed. The affected query construction applies to every field that can be searched.
What does an attacker need to exploit the vulnerability?
The attacker needs to provide a crafted file-search term containing quote characters. Wildcard characters are escaped, but quote characters are not, allowing the search term to alter the database query.
