Summary

In SQLBot prior to 1.9.0, an authenticated user can supply a crafted sheet["tableName"] value in the Excel datasource configuration, which is stored without safe identifier handling. When the datasource is deleted, the value is interpolated into SQL and executed by PostgreSQL, enabling second-order SQL injection.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can invoke PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the postgres process inside the SQLBot container. This leads to full container takeover and potentially further escalation.

Recommendation

Upgrade SQLBot to version 1.9.0 or later. Restrict postgres process privileges and verify that SQL identifiers are properly parameterized.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
