CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

SQLBot versions prior to 1.9.0 are vulnerable to a second-order SQL injection due to improper handling of user-supplied values in the Excel datasource configuration. An authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary operating-system commands with the privileges of the postgres process, potentially compromising the system. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 1.9.0 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, an authenticated user can supply a crafted sheet["tableName"] value in the Excel datasource configuration submitted through POST /api/v1/datasource/, and SQLBot stores that value without safe identifier handling. When the same datasource is later removed through DELETE /api/v1/datasource/{id}, the stored value is interpolated into datasource cleanup SQL and executed by PostgreSQL. This second-order SQL injection can invoke PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM and execute arbitrary operating-system commands with the privileges of the postgres process inside the SQLBot container. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.
