CVE-2026-48017 Details
Description
DbGate is cross-platform database manager. In versions 7.1.8 and prior, the POST /runners/load-reader endpoint in DbGate accepts a functionName parameter that is directly interpolated into a JavaScript code template without any sanitization or validation. An authenticated user (with basic access, no special permissions required) can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes on the server with full process privileges, bypassing the require=null sandbox restriction. An authenticated user with basic access (no admin role, no run-shell-script permission required) can: execute arbitrary OS commands on the DbGate server with the privileges of the Node.js process, read/write any file accessible to the process, pivot to connected databases by reading connection credentials from DbGate's storage, and compromise the host system - in Docker deployments, this typically means root access within the container. Version 7.1.9 contains a patch.
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in DbGate, a cross-platform database manager, in versions through 7.1.8. The issue arises in the POST /runners/load-reader endpoint, where the functionName parameter is directly inserted into a JavaScript code template without any validation or sanitization. This flaw allows an authenticated user with basic access to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes on the server with full process privileges, bypassing the require=null sandbox restriction. Exploitation enables the execution of arbitrary OS commands, unrestricted file read/write operations, and unauthorized access to connected databases by extracting credentials from DbGate's storage. In Docker deployments, this could lead to root access within the container.
Users can upgrade to DbGate version 7.1.9, which includes a patch for this vulnerability.
