Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/sqls server/sqls, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

sqls-server/sqls 0.2.28 is vulnerable to command injection in the config command because the openEditor function passes the EDITOR environment variable and config file path to sh -c without sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This issue has been patched via commit https://github.com/sqls-server/sqls/commit/468a23fc89af89f632cc023a10c031e4bc781797.
