CVE-2025-54379 — ekuiper
Fix: lf-edge/ekuiper@72c4918CVE-2025-54379 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2. A fix is available for github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2 — see the affected versions and patch details below.
eKuiper API endpoints handling SQL queries with user-controlled table names.
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description
Summary
A 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.
Details
The 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:
query := fmt.Sprintf("SELECT * FROM %s ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1", table)
Any 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.
PoC
- Deploy eKuiper instance (default config is sufficient).
- Send a crafted request to the SQL query endpoint:
curl -X POST http://localhost:9081/sql-query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"table": "sensors; DROP TABLE users; --",
"operation": "getLast"
}'
- Effect: Executes two SQL queries — the first selects data, the second drops the
userstable. - Verify Result:
sqlite3 etc/kuiper/data/kuiper.db ".tables"
Impact
CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2 to 2.2.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-54379 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
