CVE-2026-42032

CKAN has Unauthenticated Authorization Bypass in `datastore_search_sql`

A vulnerability in datastoresearchsql allowed attackers to bypass authorization in order to gain access to private resources and PostgreSQL system information

Patches

More information

As stated in the documentation, this action function has protections that offer some safety but are not designed to prevent all types of abuse.
