stigmem Postgres SQL Injection via Schema Identifier
EPSS Exploitation Probability
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, from FIRST.org EPSS.
Real-World Exposure
stigmem-nodeReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Postgres backend schema identifiers were interpolated into SQL strings. In the reviewed code path the schema value is operator-controlled, but the pattern was unsafe if future call sites allowed tenant or request-controlled schema names. Impacted users are operators using the Postgres backend in affected versions.
Patches
Patched in 0.9.0a2. Schema identifier handling now uses defensive identifier quoting and validation-oriented regression coverage.
Workarounds
Before upgrading, only configure Postgres schema names from trusted deployment configuration and do not derive schema names from request, tenant, header, or user input.
Upgrade
Upgrade to the patched release:
pip install --upgrade --pre stigmem-node
If developers install through the Stigmem meta-package instead, they should use the matching extra for deployments, for example:
pip install --upgrade --pre 'stigmem[node]'

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for stigmem-node, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update stigmem-node to 0.9.0a2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-76240 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.
