If this value is not set, Hydra falls back to using `secrets.system`. An attacker who knows this secret can craft their own tokens, including malicious tokens that lead to SQL injection.\n\n## Preconditions\n\nThis issue can be exploited when the following conditions are met:\n\n- One or more **admin APIs** listed above are directly or indirectly accessible to the attacker\n- The attacker can pass a raw pagination token to the affected API\n- The configuration value `secrets.pagination` is set and known to the attacker, or `secrets.pagination` is not set and `secrets.system` is known to the attacker\n\n## Impact\n\nAn attacker can execute arbitrary SQL queries through forged pagination tokens.\n\n## Mitigation\n\nAs a first line of defense, immediately configure a custom value for `secrets.pagination` by generating a cryptographically secure random secret, for example:\n\n```\nopenssl rand -base64 32\n```\n\nNext, upgrade **Hydra** to the fixed version **as soon as possible**.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/ory/hydra","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/ory/hydra"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.11.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-r9w3-57w2-gch2/GHSA-r9w3-57w2-gch2.json"}},{"package":{"name":"github.com/ory/hydra/v2","ecosystem":"Go","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/ory/hydra/v2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.3.1-0.20260320110106-0b84568fffcc"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/03/GHSA-r9w3-57w2-gch2/GHSA-r9w3-57w2-gch2.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/ory/hydra/security/advisories/GHSA-r9w3-57w2-gch2"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-33504"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/ory/hydra"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-89"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-03-20T20:55:04Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-03-26T18:16:31Z","severity":"HIGH"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
