CVE-2026-61667 Details
Description
DIRAC is an interware, meaning a software framework for distributed computing. Prior to versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10, DataManagementSystem/Service/FileCatalogHandler.py checkDataset forwards an authenticated caller-controlled datasets value to DatasetManager.py __checkDataset, where datasetName is interpolated into an FC_MetaDatasets SQL query without parameterization. The injected query can control the returned MetaQuery value, which is passed to Python eval and permits command execution as the account running the DIRAC services. Successful exploitation can expose dirac.cfg, database passwords, stored proxies, and tokens, fully compromise the DIRAC system, and allow alteration of local log evidence. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in DIRAC versions prior to 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10. The issue arises in the Data Management System's File Catalog Dataset Manager, where user-controlled dataset names are interpolated into SQL queries without proper sanitization. This SQL injection allows authenticated users to manipulate the query results, which are then executed as Python code using eval. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a complete compromise of the DIRAC system, including unauthorized access to sensitive configuration files and the ability to erase log entries.
Users can upgrade to DIRAC versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, or 9.1.10 to address this vulnerability.
