CVE-2026-61667
CriticalCVSS 9.9Summary
In DIRAC prior to versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10, the checkDataset function in FileCatalogHandler.py forwards an authenticated caller-controlled datasets value to __checkDataset in DatasetManager.py, 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.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker can execute commands as the account running DIRAC services, exposing dirac.cfg, database passwords, stored proxies, and tokens, fully compromising the DIRAC system and allowing alteration of local log evidence.
Recommendation
Upgrade DIRAC to version 8.0.79, 9.0.22, or 9.1.10 (or later). Consider rotating credentials (database passwords, tokens, proxies) if exploitation is suspected.
Other vulnerabilities in DIRAC
Original NVD description (English source)
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.
