CocoIndex Doris target connector didn't verify table name when constructing ALTER TABLE statements
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description
Impact
The Doris target connector didn't verify the configured table name before creating some SQL statements (ALTER TABLE). So, in the application code, if the table name is provided by an untrusted upstream, it expose vulnerability to SQL injection when target schema change.
Patches
Yes, it's fixed in cocoindex 0.3.34: we start to validate table names passed to Doris target at entry point and error out immediately if it's not a valid identifier.
Workarounds
Users should make sure table names used to configure CocoIndex targets are valid, regardless of this fix. Which means
- The table name comes from a trusted source (e.g. for most cases it's just a fixed string literal).
- Even if it comes from an untrusted source (e.g. provided by end user), it should be validated before using it to configure the Doris target for CocoIndex.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cocoindex, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update cocoindex to 0.3.34 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-28438 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.
