CVE-2026-53557

HIGH CVSS 4.0: 7.7 EPSS 0.27%
Updated Sep 18, 2026
PostgreSQL
Parameter Value
CVSS 7.7 (HIGH)
Fixed In 1.9.0
Type CWE-89 (SQL Injection)
Vendor PostgreSQL
Public PoC No

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.
