CVE-2026-34455 — Hi.Events: SQL Injection via Unvalidated sort_by Query Parameter in Multiple Repository Classes

Hi.Events is an open-source event management and ticket selling platform. From version 0.8.0-beta.1 to before version 1.7.1-beta, multiple repository classes pass the user-supplied sort_by query parameter directly to Eloquent's orderBy() without validation, enabling SQL injection. The application uses PostgreSQL which supports stacked queries. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1-beta.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.6% (30-day exploitation probability)+7
  • Technical severity (high)+6
  • CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Hi.events Hi.events, HiEventsDev Hi.Events).
  2. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (injection), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.

  • Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-34455 is "Hi.Events: SQL Injection via Unvalidated sort_by Query Parameter in Multiple Repository Classes", rated High. It affects Hi.events (Hi.events); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 8.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.55% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
