CVE-2026-49392: Wazuh

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.6.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3, DB::getFile() and DB::searchFile() in src/syscheckd/src/db/src/file.cpp concatenate a monitored file path into SQLite row filters. On non-Windows systems, FIMDBCreator::encodeString() does not escape the value. A local user who can create a filename in a File Integrity Monitoring directory can inject a UNION SELECT expression when wazuh-syscheckd processes or deletes that path. The confirmed primitive manipulates SELECT result sets consumed by the FIM code; stacked statements and remote code execution were not demonstrated. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3.

Affected products

• Wazuh Wazuh: from 4.6.0, before 4.14.6 (fixed in 4.14.6); version 5.0.0 only
