CVE-2026-66838

MEDIUM CVSS 4.0: 5.9 EPSS 0.16%
Updated Aug 07, 2026
Elixir-Ecto
Parameter Value
CVSS 5.9 (MEDIUM)
Affected Versions 0.19.3 — 0.22.4
Fixed In 0.22.4
Type CWE-89 (SQL Injection)
Vendor Elixir-Ecto
Public PoC No

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in elixir-ecto postgrex allows SQL Injection via the :comment option of Postgrex.stream/4. An attacker who can influence that value can close the comment delimiter with */ and extend the streamed statement with their own clauses, which execute under the connection's role. Ecto exposes the same option through Ecto.Repo.stream/2.

Postgrex appends the comment by concatenating it into the statement text sent in the Parse message, without escaping or rejecting */. The option is validated by comment_not_present!/1 at every other execution point; stream/4 never calls it. Because Parse accepts a single command, the injection is confined to the streamed statement and further statements cannot be chained.

This issue affects postgrex: from 0.19.3 before 0.22.4.
