Real-World Exposure

Description
Impact
When leveraging the following together:
- Elide Aggregation Data Store for Analytic Queries
- Parameterized Columns (A column that requires a client provided parameter)
- A parameterized column of type TEXT
There is the potential for a hacker to provide a carefully crafted query that would bypass server side authorization filters through SQL injection. A recent patch to Elide 6.1.2 allowed the '-' character to be included in parameterized TEXT columns. This character can be interpreted as SQL comments ('--') and allow the attacker to remove the WHERE clause from the generated query and bypass authorization filters.
Patches
A fix is provided in Elide 6.1.4.
Workarounds
The vulnerability only exists for parameterized columns of type TEXT and only for analytic queries (CRUD is not impacted). Workarounds include leveraging a different type of parameterized column (TIME, MONEY, etc) or not leveraging parameterized columns.

elideelideDetection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.yahoo.elide:elide-datastore-aggregation, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update com.yahoo.elide:elide-datastore-aggregation to 6.1.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8xpj-9j9g-fc9r 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.
