SQL Injection in Drogon ORM Mapper orderBy Function

A vulnerability was detected in drogonframework drogon up to 1.9.13. Affected by this issue is the function Mapper::orderBy in the library Mapper.h of the component ORM Mapper. Performing a manipulation of the argument sort results in sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 323matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

CVE-2026-94143 represents a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Drogon web framework's ORM Mapper component, specifically within the orderBy() function. By manipulating sort arguments, attackers can inject arbitrary SQL commands that execute with the privileges of the application's database connection. This vulnerability affects Drogon versions up to 1.9.13 and poses significant risk to any application using this framework for database operations. The threat is amplified by the public exploit availability and the vendor's unresponsiveness to early disclosure, leaving organizations without official patches while attackers actively develop exploitation techniques.

Casky's platform maps this vulnerability across 323 security skills aligned with MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0001 (Initial Access) and TA0043 (Reconnaissance). Practitioners using Casky would identify detection patterns associated with CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection), observing anomalous database queries with unexpected ORDER BY clauses, suspicious character encoding in sort parameters, and database error patterns indicating injection attempts. Claude AI's extended reasoning capabilities enable practitioners to correlate these indicators across multiple data sources—detecting both reconnaissance activity (unusual API calls to orderBy endpoints) and exploitation attempts (malformed SQL appearing in query logs)—allowing them to distinguish legitimate traffic from sophisticated attack chains before database compromise occurs.
