RCE in Dataease Sqlbot

CVE-2026-32950

SQLBot is an intelligent data query system based on a large language model and RAG. Versions prior to 1.7.0 contain a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the /api/v1/datasource/uploadExcel endpoint that enables Remote Code Execution (RCE), allowing any authenticated user (even the lowest-privileged) to fully compromise the backend server. The root cause is twofold: Excel Sheet names are concatenated directly into PostgreSQL table names without sanitization (datasource.py#L351), and those table names are embedded into COPY SQL statements via f-strings instead of parameterized queries (datasource.py#L385-L388). An attacker can bypass the 31-character Sheet name limit using a two-stage technique—first uploading a normal file whose data rows contain shell commands, then uploading an XML-tampered file whose Sheet name injects a TO PROGRAM 'sh' clause into the SQL. Confirmed impacts include arbitrary command execution as the postgres user (uid=999), sensitive file exfiltration (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow), and complete PostgreSQL database takeover. This issue has been fixed in version 1.7.0.
