Description
WhoDB versions from 0.104.0 up to but not including 0.135.0 contain a critical path traversal vulnerability. This flaw allows remote attackers to read and write arbitrary files on the host by leveraging DuckDB filesystem functions via the query editor without requiring credentials. Exploitation can lead to theft of sensitive files such as session keys and stored database credentials, or overwriting of files. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.135.0.
