How to Fix CVE-2026-4506

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Mindsql dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

mindsql fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install mindsql>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show mindsql

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-4506, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show mindsql

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mindsql in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show mindsql command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Mindsql, 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

A vulnerability was found in Mindinventory MindSQL up to 0.2.1. Impacted is the function ask_db of the file mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py. Performing a manipulation results in code injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
