Description
Meshery is an open source, cloud native manager that enables the design and management of Kubernetes-based infrastructure and applications. A SQL injection vulnerability in Meshery prior to version 0.7.22 may lead to arbitrary file write by using a SQL injection stacked queries payload, and the ATTACH DATABASE command. Additionally, attackers may be able to access and modify any data stored in the database, like performance profiles (which may contain session cookies), Meshery application data, or any Kubernetes configuration added to the system. The Meshery project exposes the function GetAllEvents at the API URL /api/v2/events. The sort query parameter read in events_streamer.go is directly used to build a SQL query in events_persister.go. Version 0.7.22 fixes this issue by using the SanitizeOrderInput function.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/layer5io/meshery, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/layer5io/meshery to 0.7.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h7cm-jvpp-69xf 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.
