Description
A flaw was found in migration-planner. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a specially crafted RVTools .xlsx file. Due to improper input sanitization, malicious SQL embedded within a spreadsheet cell is executed when cluster names are processed. This SQL Injection allows for arbitrary file reading on the system, potentially exposing sensitive information such as Kubernetes service account tokens and other credentials, which could lead to a full compromise of the SaaS environment.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/kubev2v/migration-planner, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/kubev2v/migration-planner to 0.13.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-53474 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.
