CVE-2026-53557 Details
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.
A second-order SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in SQLBot, an intelligent Text-to-SQL system, prior to version 1.9.0. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to inject malicious SQL payloads through the Excel datasource configuration. The injected payload is stored in the database and executed later when the datasource is deleted, using PostgreSQL's COPY TO PROGRAM feature to execute arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the postgres user inside the SQLBot container.
Users are advised to upgrade SQLBot to version 1.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
