### Impact This is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the MongoLite Aggregation Optimizer. Any Cockpit CMS instance running version **2.13.4 or earlier** with API access enabled is potentially affected. **Who is impacted:** - Any deployment where the `/api/content/aggregate/{model}` endpoint is publicly accessible or reachable by untrusted users. - Attackers in possession of a **valid read-only API key** (the lowest privilege level) can exploit this vulnerability — no admin access is required. **What an attacker can do:** - Inject arbitrary SQL via unsanitized field names in aggregation queries. - Bypass the `_state=1` published-content filter to access unpublished or restricted content. - Extract unauthorized data from the underlying SQLite content database. **Confidentiality impact is High.** Integrity and availability are not directly affected by this vulnerability. ### Patches This vulnerability has been **patched in version 2.13.5**. All users running Cockpit CMS version **2.13.4 or earlier** are strongly advised to upgrade to **2.13.5 or later** immediately. - https://github.com/Cockpit-HQ/Cockpit/releases/tag/2.13.5 The fix applies the same field-name sanitizatio

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
