AI-suggested

Upgrade CallBackery to version 0.62.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl contain an OS command injection vulnerability. This occurs because the restoreConfigBlob() function feeds a database dump from a backup to the sqlite3 shell, which executes lines starting with a dot as shell commands. An attacker who can supply a backup to be restored can execute arbitrary OS commands as the application user.
