The hook
CKAN often fronts public datasets, internal portals, and civic data catalogs. CVE-2026-42031 affects CKAN deployments where the DataStore SQL search action can cross the expected authorization boundary, creating SQL injection and unauthorized data-access risk.
Otú ọ si arụ ọrụ
CKAN deployments affected by CVE-2026-42031 can expose DataStore SQL behavior without the expected authorization boundary. The risk is SQL injection and unauthorized access to data that should stay protected.
The blast radius
A confirmed exposure can reveal DataStore contents that were expected to be protected by CKAN authorization checks. Depending on what the deployment hosts, that can include unpublished datasets, operational metadata, or tenant-specific records.

Ironclad defenses
Upgrade CKAN to 2.10.10 or 2.11.5 or newer for the deployed release line. Disable DataStore SQL search when it is not required; otherwise restrict it to authenticated, authorized users and keep CKAN administrative surfaces behind trusted-network controls.
