CVE-2026-86460: Apache Syncope: Cypher Injection via FIQL Search on Neo4j Persistence

Apache Syncope versions 3.0.0 through 4.1.2 contain a Cypher injection vulnerability in the Neo4j persistence layer when processing FIQL (Fiql Query Language) search parameters. The flaw allows attackers to manipulate database queries through specially crafted input, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Why it matters: Organizations running Apache Syncope with Neo4j persistence should assess whether they are on affected versions and plan patching, as Cypher injection can bypass access controls and expose sensitive identity and access data.
