Description
SQLBot is an intelligent Text-to-SQL system based on large language models and RAG. Prior to 1.9.0, an authenticated user can supply a crafted sheet["tableName"] value in the Excel datasource configuration submitted through POST /api/v1/datasource/, and SQLBot stores that value without safe identifier handling. When the same datasource is later removed through DELETE /api/v1/datasource/{id}, the stored value is interpolated into datasource cleanup SQL and executed by PostgreSQL. This second-order SQL injection can invoke PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM and execute arbitrary operating-system commands with the privileges of the postgres process inside the SQLBot container. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-53557 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-53557 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-53557. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-53557 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-53557 across dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
