CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The SQLBot application is vulnerable due to improper handling of multipart filename data in the POST /api/v1/datasource/parseExcel endpoint, allowing attackers to upload malicious files that can be executed during application startup or migration. This can lead to remote code execution, compromising the integrity and security of the SQLBot environment. Organizations using versions prior to 1.9.0 should prioritize upgrading to the latest version to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description

SQLBot is an intelligent Text-to-SQL system based on large language models and RAG. Prior to 1.9.0, the POST /api/v1/datasource/parseExcel endpoint in backend/apps/datasource/api/datasource.py uses attacker-controlled multipart filename data when selecting where uploaded content is stored, writes the content before spreadsheet parsing and validation finish, and can transform a double-extension filename into a Python source file. An attacker able to submit a crafted multipart upload can use these behaviors to place attacker-controlled content in /opt/sqlbot/app/alembic/versions/ even when a spreadsheet parsing failure after the file write causes the endpoint to return an error. The planted file remains on disk, and subsequent SQLBot startup or migration processing causes Alembic to import the module and execute its module-level statements in the SQLBot application runtime. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.
